A new report from the New York City department of investigation on the New York police department’s drone operations has been released amid a flurry of drone sightings and activity along the eastern seaboard and elsewhere across the US.
The report indicates that the NYPD’s current use and impact policies regarding its drone operations do not “sufficiently disclose details related to the capabilities of the technology”.
Released on Wednesday, the report examines the NYPD’s compliance with the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act, and its impact and use policies (IUP) around its drone operations.
The report concludes that the NYPD policy regarding the use and impact of unmanned aircraft systems “does not sufficiently disclose all of the information required by the Post Act, as it does not provide a complete and accurate picture of all aspects of NYPD unmanned aircraft systems operations in practice”.
