"Many police agencies are very interested in UAVs. The applications are seemingly limitless. The UAV could conduct surveillance missions, traffic reporting, and be used especially in potentially hostile environments that include unsafe areas due to toxic fumes or deadly gases. Much like the bomb robots of today, a small UAV could have tactical uses at potential hostage or barricade situations or be used to closely examine an object with the officers being far away."
