Sheriff Scott Goddard said he was surprised how often the four drones shared between agencies come in handy, and the technology allows them to improve public safety responses in a way they’ve never been able to before. He offered the example of using infrared technology to scan a lake for an overdue boater at night in 10 to 15 minutes. 4:00 am, Feb. 5, 2021 ×
