Autonomous drones for better imaging coverage of incidents #26

Theme: Applicable to all problem statements where imaging can be useful.

Brief description of your idea: Often the information about an incident is limited because dash and body cameras have field of view and other limitations. The idea is to use one or more autonomous drones to get better coverage of an incident.

What makes your idea unique?: Autonomous drones are immune to reporter bias and can operate in situations where other sources of information are ineffective. Multiple camera angles vastly improves the available information for decision making.

What would be the impact of your idea if implemented?: Increased factual data to evaluate officer conduct. Extra camera angles to improve weapon / no weapon and other threat data for real time guidance to officers (problem statement 2).

Skills to contribute (e.g. development, architecture, research, design or anything else):
