Johor Bahru, 28th April 2022 – Drone technology advancements have aided government enforcement agencies in making time consuming tasks not only easier, but also faster and safer for their personnel.
Three agencies that use drones extensively are the police, Fire and Rescue Department and the Environment Department.
For the police force especially, the use of drones has been a huge help in surveillance and investigations, which help to combat crime.
Police Chief of Johor, CP Dato’ Kamarul Zaman Mamat said, if the police received information about a location of drug activities, the drones would be sent out first to get visual confirmation.
"We also want to see routes we can use to enter and exit an area during an operation," he said.
Johor police headquarters currently have five drones handled by five officers who have been trained and certified by the Air Operation (PGU) Drone Unit.
