A possible use of a drone by the police is not something you immediately think about. The benefits of a police drone are many. The drone is much faster than a helicopter, can inspect crime scenes and take photos of natural disasters sites from the air. It also collects critical intelligence from high altitude. The police drone can track and pursue suspects as well as track fugitives. It is a great tool for improving public safety, crime prevention, and other purposes.
Grabbit G6
The police department will soon have a new technology, a drone. Grabbit G6 is a police drone that uses facial recognition technology. This technology is called Live911, developed by a company called HigherGround. This technology allows a police officer to listen in real-time to 911 calls. This information gives tactical intelligence to the police teleoperator and helps him launch the drone based the emergency reported. The drone can be sent to the scene by police departments before officers realize what is going on.
Skyseer
Fully loaded SkySeer can be purchased for between US$25,000-30000. This price includes all electronics, the video surveillance system and a groundstation with computer interfaces. The video interface transmits real-time video directly to the police laptop. After a case has been closed, the video can then be recorded to DVD and Macromedia Flash. The drone also has a preset flight pattern that it follows.
AeroVironment
Grand Forks, N.D. Sheriff's Department, are one of the few agencies to experiment with AeroVironment UAVs for police. The drone, which is similar in appearance to a model aircraft with four motors and a digital camera, was developed by AeroVironment. Rather than watching a suspect, the drone can follow him or her around and capture images for authorities to use in an arrest or investigation. The Qube is its name. It is not a toy, contrary to its name.
Predator
The U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection owns the Predator drone, a sophisticated surveillance aircraft. These aircraft can capture thermal images and video footage from criminals by flying at high altitudes. A recent case of civil unrest in Minnesota saw a Predator B flying over the city. Nelson County police said that the Brossart clan was responsible for the arrest. Although privacy concerns still remain, drones are an effective tool for law enforcement.
Reaper
The MQ-9 Reaper can be remotely piloted by the United States Department of Defense as well as the U.S. Air Force. Reaper has many capabilities, including the ability to observe terrain and hunt targets. Multiple sensors and payloads, such as a thermographic cam, allow the Reaper gather signals intelligence data about a target. It also has a satellite link that allows it to receive operator commands in less time than one second.

How To
Repairing A Damaged Motor Of A Drone
The first step toward repairing a damaged motor is to identify what part of the motor is broken. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. The motor must be bent again. For this purpose, you could use a vice grip to hold the motor and bend it back into shape. Once you've done this, make sure to check the motor thoroughly for signs of wear.
Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
