The NYPD will police Labor Day parties with surveillance drones

We will use technology, we will use drones for this J’ouvert weekend. The drones will respond to priority and non-priority calls, for example, if we have any 311 calls on our line that are non-emergency, where if a caller says there’s a big crowd, a big backyard party, come on. to use our assets to upload, go check out the party, to make sure if the call is substantiated or not, and we’ll be able to determine how many resources we need to send to that location for this weekend. . We’ll have our drone team there from tonight until Monday morning.
