Sixteen trained operators manage autonomous drones pre-positioned and ready to fly directly to incidents, focusing on tactical intel, not surveillance. This tech is a game-changer for busy summer weekends like the Fourth of July, helping officers respond faster and safer. Other local departments, including Elizabeth City and soon Newport News, are following suit—with fire departments even getting in on the action. As beach season heats up, Virginia Beach is adding a new set of eyes in the sky to boost public safety.
