When you think about a possible police use for a drone, you probably don't immediately envision a surveillance application. But a police drone has many benefits. It's faster than helicopters and can search for crime scenes and capture photos of natural hazards. A police drone is capable of tracking fugitives and chasing down suspects. It is an indispensable tool for crime prevention and public safety.
Grabbit G6
A drone is the latest technology coming to the police department. Grabbit G6 is a police drone that uses facial recognition technology. HigherGround has developed the technology known as Live911. The technology allows a police teleoperator to listen to 911 calls in real time. This provides tactical information and allows the teleoperator, based on the incident, to launch the drone. Police departments are able to send drones on the spot before officers even notice what's happening.
Skyseer
Fully loaded SkySeer can be purchased for between US$25,000-30000. All electronics, a video surveillance camera, and a ground station equipped with computer interfaces are included in this price. The video interface can send real-time video to a police's laptop. Once the case is concluded, the video can also be recorded to DVD/Macromedia Flash. The drone has a preset flight plan that it follows.

AeroVironment
The Grand Forks, N.D., Sheriff's Department is one of the few agencies experimenting with AeroVironment drones for police. The drone of the company is similar to an airplane model with four rotors. It also has a video camera. Instead of watching a suspect, it can follow them around and take images for authorities to use during an arrest or investigation. The Qube is the name of this drone. It is not a toy.
Predator
U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection has a Predator drone which is a highly advanced aerial surveillance tool. These aircraft use thermal imaging and cameras to fly high altitudes in order to capture video of criminals. A recent case of civil unrest in Minnesota saw a Predator B flying over the city. Nelson County police blamed the Brossart Family's surveillance for the arrest. While privacy concerns remain, the use of drones for law enforcement has many advantages.
Reaper
The MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft is used by the United States Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force. The Reaper can hunt targets and observe terrain. Multiple sensors and payloads such as a thermographic camera allow the Reaper to gather signals intelligence data on a target, and its satellite link allows it to receive operator commands in less than one second.

How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
The first step toward repairing a damaged motor is to identify what part of the motor is broken. This is easiest to do by removing the propeller from its shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
You don't need to worry if there's no damage to your motor. However, a motor that looks like the one below will require you to replace certain components before you can fly again.
Imagine a motor that isn't turning anymore because it has been bent. You will need to bend it back into shape. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.
Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. You are now ready for your drone to fly.
