Drone technology enables Springfield Police to locate missing juvenile


(From the Springfield Police Department)

Technology has so much potential to help keep the community safe! We're very excited about the results of this pilot program.

Earlier in November, officers received a report of a missing juvenile. Officers requested the assistance of AIR1, SPD’s pilot program for a new drone technology, to search nearby parks.
 
After searching nearby parks with no success in locating the missing juvenile, as drone operators were bringing the drone down, they identified what appeared to be the missing juvenile near the intersection of Bennett and Campbell.
 
Officers responded to the area and were able to reunite the juvenile with their family.
