Law Enforcement Use of Drones Is Taking Off

Tri-C’s Clayton Harris talks to WKYC about how the technology can help first responders

Drone above a cityThe sky is the limit when it comes to law enforcement use of drone technology, according to Clayton Harris, dean of public safety at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®). 

Harris recently spoke with WKYC Channel 3 on the benefits drones offer first responders. His comments were included in a story on the Akron Police Department announcing plans to purchase a drone to help investigators safely view crime scenes and traffic crashes. 

“If you can use technology — specifically an unmanned aerial vehicle — in order to accomplish a lot of tasks that are needed to be taken care of without the chance of injuring a life, then they should be used,” Harris told WKYC.

Harris, who oversees the College’s Public Safety Center of Excellence, chaired an Ohio advisory group that developed a model policy and best practices for law enforcement use of drones. 

Under his guidance, Tri-C has established itself as a leader in the drone training field. The College launched its Drone Academy in 2016 and offers courses designed for police, firefighters and emergency personnel.
