Successful drone search

One of the more positive stories:

Police drone finds missing California woman

Despite concern about overzealous use of police drones in the pandemic, they can be valuable public safety tools, as in the case of finding a missing woman.

Too many of these types of stories are never told, glad to see this one was.

Thanks,
That was a good one to read after reading about alot of the negative news. I wish our police dept. would start looking into this technology. Every now and then an autistic child or adult seems to wander off into the town forest or marshland at night Luckilly they have been able find them but with a great deal of man power and time with no tragedies. I bet something like the higher end enterprise with thermo imaging would pay for itself for the manhours saved alone.

Our local fire department has the M210 with the high-resolution FLIR combo cameras, as well as a couple of Mavic 2 Enterprises. Several of the State search and rescue teams also use them.
