While there are a number of police departments that use drones to help in crime fighting, a company called Brinc has introduced what it claims is the first fully functional police unit designed to be fully integrated with a department's 911 system. And, one is expected to come to one LA County police force by the end of the year.Hawthorne is one of the cities using drones for police work.
Blake Resnick, who started Brinc Drones, was living in Las Vegas at that time. He recalled that at first, police weren't sure how many shooters there were, and remembered how long it took for officers to enter the shooter's room."I thought that if they could get troops and flying cameras, that would help," said Resnick.Resnick took that idea and decided to make a 911 Response Drone; a flying first responder, complete with sirens, lights and a police logo.
