Please come out and learn more about the next evolution in public safety.
Durham Regional Police@DRPS

🚁 DRPS Launches Drone as First Responder Pilot Project The Durham Regional Police Service is proud to introduce our first ever Drone as First Responder (DFR) pilot project—bringing innovative aviation technology directly into front line emergency response. Remotely piloted drones will be able to respond to certain emergency calls in about 60 seconds, giving officers real time situational awareness before they arrive on scene. DRPS is among the first police services in Canada to explore this model. The DFR system: ✔️ Is not used for general surveillance ✔️ Does not use facial recognition ✔️ Launches only for specific emergency or operational incidents ✔️ Operates under Transport Canada authorizations and all privacy legislation The technology will support high risk calls, missing persons investigations, large or evolving incidents, natural disasters, and situations where rapid aerial information improves safety. ________________________________________ 📣 Community Information Night Residents are invited to learn more about the pilot project at our upcoming Drone as First Responder Community Information Night: 📍 Audley Recreation Centre, Ajax 📅 Thursday, February 26, 2026 ⏰ 6:30–8:00 p.m. Join us for: • Live drone demonstrations • Meet the pilot opportunities • Information on how the system works • Details on privacy protections and project oversight A public FAQ page is also being developed to support transparency. 🔗 For more information about the pilot, please visit drps.ca/DFR ________________________________________ DRPS will continue to evaluate the pilot throughout the year, gathering data on response times, safety impacts, operational effectiveness, and community feedback. Together, we're building a safer and more informed community.

Recently, we’ve seen an increase in residential break‑ins, and while there’s no guaranteed way to stop a break‑in completely, there are practical steps we can all take to reduce the risk and make our homes far less appealing to criminals.

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss important innovations in public safety. The @DRPS has benefited from the collaborative efforts of so many police services across the province. We all share information that is helping every Drone program succeed resulting in lives saved and making communities safer.

@drps_officialwest worked with MTO Commercial Motor Vehicles inspectors after this dump truck had two of its tires come loose and strike another vehicle. Luckily there were no injuries but extensive property damage. The MTO conducted an inspection and laid charges ^ma
