Ohio State University Police plan to install at least three drones on rooftops around the campus area, including on top of WOSU’s headquarters at 1800 N. Pearl St.
OSU spokesman Dan Hedman said in a statement OSUPD will use drones as first responders. Law enforcement agencies around the country, including the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, are using drones this way. The drones launch from a set site and fly to traffic incidents or crime scenes to provide overwatch capabilities before police officers arrive on scene.
Hedman didn’t say how the drones will be used exactly. The university has worked with other law enforcement agencies in the past to monitor protests and large events on campus using drones.
Soaring to new heights, together.
