Funded by federal grants, the system includes advanced detection gear, extra personnel, and overtime, deployed by the Sheriff’s Office and Washington State Patrol in coordinated efforts with federal partners. Officers used drones to spot rogue aircraft while ground teams tracked down pilots — a seamless, multi-agency operation that proved no single agency could handle this alone. Now, the Sheriff’s Office plans to expand this program to concerts, parades, and other large gatherings, training deputies and sharing resources statewide to ensure public safety and prevent aerial threats.
