REPORT IN BRIEF:
Meeting Date: 04/20/2021
Atthe December 15,2020 meeting, City Council approved the receipt of a $26,000 donation from a local communitygroup to establish the Chico PD Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Program. The funds have since been utilized topurchase five UAS drones and specialized equipment. Today, Chico PD Staff will provide a brief presentation toCouncil with an overview of the Chico PD UAS Program.
Recommendation:
This is an informational presentation only. No Council Action is required.
DISCUSSION:
The Chico Police Department utilized donations from the Chico Community Benefit Luncheon, also known as the"Chico Cioppino Feed", to establish the Chico Police Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) program. The Chico PoliceDepartment utilized the funds to purchase five UAS drones and the specialized equipment needed to operate theprogram safely and professionally. One sergeant and four officers were selected to kickstart the UAS Unit. Eachofficer will attend specialized training to safely and legally fly a drone within City's jurisdiction.
UAS programs are a relatively new piece of technology for law enforcement. This technology is critical inimproving officer safety, providing efficient service to the community, and providing real-time intelligence toofficers on the street. This unit not only enhances police services locally but enhances police services regionally.The UAS drones and pilots will adhere to strict department policy and the strict guidelines and protections of the4th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution. When an UAS is deployed in the field, it will likelybe used in the following situations:

• Concerned over high profile and national incidents involving use of force
• Chico PD has great training and equipment but no routine aerial support
· 911 callers are understress and often do not communicate crucial details to
dispatch
· Officers respond to scenes with limited information, which can put them andthe public at greater risk
• Technology enhancements get crucial information to officers before they arriveon-scene and are critical for de-escalation
