The LVMPD’s Technical and Analytical Section hosted a peer exchange, attended by 17 people from 11 different PSP sites, highlighting its small unmanned aerial system (s/UAS) program. Sergeant Brandon Borden and Detective Steve Oscar led the exchange for the LVMPD and covered the evolution of the department’s program from its inception to the current state and the projection of where it will be in 1 year. The platforms, which include BRINC and Skydio, currently assist in crime scene documentation, overwatch, tactical operations, and large-scale special events. The department is building out a drone-as-first-responder program, which can be launched from fixed positions throughout the city with ShotSpotter notifications and other high-profile calls for service. Attendees were provided with live demonstrations of the different platforms as well as the technology associated with the program.
