   Not every 911 call will be answered with a drone, but Brookhaven, Ga.,   
   police say the project will give its officers more flexibility,   
   availability and information, while limiting in-person contact amid   
   the coronavirus pandemic.

   (TNS) - Brookhaven, Ga., will become the first city in the southeast   
   to adopt a first responder program that uses unmanned drones to   
   respond to 911 calls, emergencies and to conduct investigations.   
      
   On Tuesday night, the city approved funding for the Brookhaven Police   
   Department's UAS (unmanned aerial system) unit, which will consist of   
   four drones. Police will be able to deploy them to witness crimes in   
   progress, document crime scenes or provide a bird's eye view for   
   officers on the ground.
