AP Plans to Deploy Drones in Every Police Station

Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh government plans to equip every police station in the state with a drone for multi-purpose operations, including crime detection and crowd control, under a public-private partnership model. To expand drone deployment, the government has adopted the PPP model, where some drones will be procured directly by the state, while others will be acquired through private sector donations and corporate social responsibility funding. The drones will serve multiple functions, including law enforcement, crime prevention, monitoring religious processions during temple festivals, surveilling crime hotspots, curbing eve-teasing, and keeping watch over various anti-social activities. Vijayawada additional IGP, Siddarth Kaushal, stated, “The government aims to utilise drones extensively to monitor activities, prevent law and order breaches, and curb crime.
