DroneXL's take

As drones become more capable and less expensive we see the use of unmanned aircraft increase among police departments, Search and Rescue crews, and other First Responders in the country. Especially police drones that are outfitted with thermal cameras such as the recently launched DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced have proven to be very effective in finding missing people, hotspots, etc.
