MOBILE DRONE UNIT
Rapid Aerial Response for a Safer Las Vegas
The LVMPD Mobile Drone Unit is a rapid-response team that deploys advanced drones directly from specially equipped vehicles to deliver real-time aerial intelligence during critical incidents. Operated by trained officers and civilian pilots, these drones often arrive before ground units, enhancing situational awareness, supporting tactical operations, and increasing the safety of both officers and the community. This innovative unit helps keep Las Vegas safer without adding strain to taxpayer resources.
The LVMPD Foundation plays a critical role in making the Mobile Drone Unit possible by securing private funding and building community partnerships that go beyond what public budgets alone can provide. Through donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships, the Foundation helps fund advanced drones, specialized vehicles, training, and operational support that keep this innovative unit mission-ready.
This vital support enables the LVMPD to deploy drones quickly and effectively, enhancing situational awareness, officer safety, and overall public safety across the Las Vegas Valley. In short, the Foundation’s efforts ensure that cutting-edge tools like the Mobile Drone Unit can protect and serve the community without placing additional strain on taxpayer-funded resources.
