LVMPD sends drones to crimes in progress getting them there faster than patrol units

This is pretty cool
It would lead to crowded airspace if they did this in NOLA or North BR.

REAL-TIME RESULTS!
On May 12, a homeowner was out of town when their security cameras alerted them that someone was trying to get inside their Las Vegas home near Desert Inn and Arville.
They called Metro.
An LVMPD drone launched from a SkyPort and was overhead in seconds, locating the suspect outside the residence. Working together, the drone pilot and dispatcher quickly guided responding officers to the location, leading to an arrest.
When every second counts, eyes in the sky can make all the difference.
We have flown more than 12,000 drone flights so far in 2026. Today, our drones are arriving on scene before officers more than 70% of the time. That means faster response, better situational awareness, better information for our officers, and ultimately safer outcomes for our community.

Looks like Las Vegas is serious about law enforcement. Maybe one day Baton Rouge and NOLA will come around.

Jefferson Parish has a similar program.

Calcasieu just spent over a million on drones but I am not sure how they plan to use them

If you are dumb enough to be a criminal with all the drone and video surveillance these days I have zero sympathy for you. Lock them up forever or put them all on an island.

This is becoming commonplace. My city uses drones as first responders as well. It's going to be a very different world in just a few years with all the technology changes.

BRPD has about 40 drones

4cubbies, red stick tigress, and Byron Bojangles are saying this program is negatively affecting minorities and must be studied.

They've been doing that in JP

I've seen this movie it's called Runaway and stars Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons and Kirstie Alley.
Great flick and predicted all of this in 1984.

Jefferson Parish has drones deployed parish wide.

NOPD already uses them for large events and they are now expanding usage similar to Jefferson Parish. First starting in the FQ then expanding to NO East.

Elysium gets closer every day

This isn’t even the future now. The future is locking them all up before crime even happens…
Joking…

NOLA & BR's response to rising crime is to redefine what is a crime to something else. Problem solved.

New Orleans and JP have been doing this for a while. NOLA just expanded their program.
