Drone in front of Kingston Police van and officersOur Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) was selected due to its multirole capabilities for police operations. Not only does it assist in a more effective and efficient response to certain incidents, it also provides an investigative platform that would otherwise require the use of standard aircraft from outside agencies.  

Police applications

  • searching for missing persons
  • serious or fatal traffic collision investigations
  • crime scene investigations
  • emergency response
  • major incidents

Operating the UAV

We have officers from the Traffic Unit (Collision Reconstructionists) and Emergency Response Unit (Search and Rescue Coordinators) trained to operate the UAV. Our UAV is a Canadian-built Aeryon SkyRanger.
