The New York City Police Department is pulling out all the stops at this year’s Times Square New Year’s Eve ball drop to keep party-goers safe. In addition to 7,000 officers, 1,200 fixed cameras, bomb-sniffing dogs, and 200 sand-filled blocker trucks, NYPD will be flying a drone over the crowd to watch out for criminal activity.
According to the Associated Press, the quadcopter will be controlled from a base station and the trained operator will be able to radio nearby units if he spots any illegal activity, which will include anyone drinking or possessing alcohol in the restricted area.
