They use 25 drones and 23 small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) Most of the use is for search & rescue or disaster recovery (tornado). Drones are now being sent by Dispatch as first response units to assist with early information. The FAA restricts where a drone may be flown. Recreational drones must be under 400 feet.
