Four police drones have been donated to Cleveland Mountain Rescue to help with their capability when working on search and rescue operations.
The team will now have access to a heat seeking eye in the sky which will allow them to scour large open areas from above.
North Yorkshire Police say the four drones that we have donated have been upgraded for newer models to ensure that the force is deploying with the most up to date technology.
North Yorkshire Police’s Chief Drone Pilot, PC Tom Joyce said:
“Police drones are now a fundamental part of policing which is why it is important that we invest in the latest equipment.
“We have a close working relationship with the team at Cleveland Mountain Rescue so it’s a way of saying thank you for the assistance they have provided to us on various tasks.
“There are many instances where a drone has played a significant role in resolving an incident. I look forward to hearing how the four drones that we have donated can improve the already fantastic work from Cleveland Mountain Rescue.”
