WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. — The Wheat Ridge Police Department is now using drones on various calls as an extra tool to enhance safety.
On Monday, July 8, officers responded to a burglary call after a maintenance worker reported seeing an individual break into an unoccupied apartment. Inside, they discovered a man sleeping in a closet along with a dog. After removing that dog, police safely took the man into custody. “I’d much rather have a suspect shoot a drone than one of our people. Also, if the suspect fires at the drone, drone is not going to fire back at that suspect. So, in a sense, it's also keeping that suspect safe,” explained Rose.
