    Help keep our law enforcement officers safe and reduce crime. I support the use of drones by the Phoenix PD.

    I strongly support more Drones due to shortage of police officers and the invasion of the border which will cause massive increases in crime in our community. Thank you, Joyce Haver

    Due to the huge losses in officers and increase in violence, Phoenix PD needs to add drones to their toolkit of resources to keep us safe. Other AZ cities already use drones. I support agenda item #83 with 4th Amendment protections added to the operating procedures consistent with other provisions Phoenix PD is already required to follow.

    Without having public input! No way! These can be abused by police departments. Our forth amendment rights should be considered regardless of scare tactics brought by the department.

    I strongly support our police. RECENTLY two friends of mine have been attacked; one did not survive. Common Sense has to Prevail. Normal people cannot possibly have the tools to protect themselves and their families safely & properly. You must you MUST give it to the police.
    Thank you

    I fully support the use of drones by the Phoenix PD. Doing so will help law enforcement more safely and effectively reduce crime in the face of department understaffing. Back the Blue.

    As a resident of D7, I support this item. This technology is essential to the safety of officers and civilians in close proximity of these critical incidents. Feb 11th was not the first time a drone had to be borrowed from a nearby law enforcement agency. As the largest in the region, Phoenix PD should be leading the way in utilizing technology – especially with a severe shortage of officers. The report lists specific units where the use of sUAS technology will benefit our police department.

    Unmanned Drones will help the police a LOT and keep them protected! I fully support these drones.

    I am a precinct committeeman in Phoenix. Given the critical understaffing of local law enforcement and surge in violent crime, Phoenix PD needs drones as a tool to keep residents safe. Other AZ cities already successfully utilize drones.

    I fully support adding drones to be used by the Phoenix police department. Adding more tools to their toolbox will help them be more efficient and will help them do their main job of keeping us safe.

    AS A RESIDENT OF PHOENIX, I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE USE OF DRONES TO SUPPLEMENT POLICE WORK IN PHOENIX. THE IDEA IS FOR BETTER PROTECTION FROM CRIMINALS, ILEGALS AND MISCHEVIOUS VANDALS. THE JOB OF THE POLICE IS TO SERVE AMD PROTECT, ALL CITIZENS.
    THANK YOU

    Police need our support

    James DelRae over 2 years ago

    With the lack of Police in Phoenix, and lack of support for them from our Mayor and Council, factoring in the rising crime rate and violent crimes throughout our city, I highly support this item.

    Drones are an invaluable tool for saving lives of law enforcement officers and citizens. Drones can be used to assist officers with criminal activity (hostage, active shooter, suspicious package/bomb, rioting, locate suspects, etc.) as well as traffic investigations, search and rescue ops, etc. Privacy concerns may be addressed with regulations and making drone usage data public. Please support our community, both its citizenry and first responders, by voting yes on drones for Phoenix.
