(UAS) is now operational following a period of policy development and 
training.

UAS, commonly referred to as drones, are an additional tool for first 
responders and provide enhanced operational capability, safety, and 
situational awareness in support of public safety. The deployment of UAS 
will be conducted by trained members of the Arlington County Fire 
Department, Police Department, Sheriff’s Office, and Department of 
Public Safety Communications and Emergency Management. This technology 
complements the existing in-car and body-worn camera systems used to 
document digital recordings of public safety activity.


        Community Engagement

Prior to implementation, the program sought community feedback

draft Unmanned Aircraft System policies to ensure they were reflective 
of the Arlington Community’s values, interests, and concerns. The 
program strives to provide the level of service that is not only 
expected but reflective of this community and appreciates all who took 
the time to read, review, and provide feedback. All comments were 
reviewed and evaluated for incorporation into the policies.
