WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. — The Wheat Ridge Police Department will now use drones in order to crack down on illegal fireworks this 4th of July.
"We have eight certified pilots. It's a tool that we use on a pretty regular basis and gives us a different perspective that we didn't have prior to having the drones," said Wheat Ridge Police Sergeant Bowman. Their goal is to be able to respond quickly to calls by drone during a holiday when most officers are patrolling the streets, maximizing the department's efficiency while using new resources.
