The Wilmington Police Department will create a drone program to assist with law enforcement and safety operations within the city limits.
During the Aug. 8 meeting of the Committee of the Whole meeting, Police Chief Adam Zink presented a request for the purchase of a drone.
Zink told that committee that the purchase will assist the department in preventing and addressing issues, including violent crime at highly attended events, such as parades and festivals. Zink said the current trend for first responders is the addition of unmanned aircraft, such as drones.
