ST. CLAIR SHORES A year after submitting a grant application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to get an unmanned aerial system off the ground in St. Clair Shores, eight police officers and three firefighters have been trained to fly drones.
Police Sgt. Stephen Stindt, who is heading the program for the city, said drones have become increasingly popular with communities to be used for a variety of tasks for police and fire departments, including search and rescue.
