North Canton police and fire discuss drone adoption and officer safety
The Police Department bought a DJI Mavic dual drone in April for traffic, pursuits, active shooter response, and investigations. Swartz must obtain a piloting license before use, with Buckeye Drone aiding purchase for 3500 dollars. Fire Capt. Jim Davis holds a drone license, part of a growing program in North Canton Fire Department, while Canal Fulton Police also use the same model. The drone records infrared video, tracks a target, and aids pre planning, but cannot be used for random surveillance or personal business. Swartz aims to be licensed by summer, emphasizing officer safety and situational analysis.
