The Warsaw Police Department is among one of the first police departments in the area to use drone technology during investigations. The department plans to use the drone to survey crash scenes, SWAT situations, and for water search and rescue operations. The department also has to follow FAA regulations. Warsaw Police are only authorized to fly the drone at 400 feet or lower over public land and must keep it in their line of sight, according to FAA rules. The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, as well as the Department of Natural Resources also utilize drones for investigations, as well.
