The Metro Nashville Police Department is testing a new technology at the Madison Precinct. A 30- to 45-day pilot program is using drones to respond to emergencies. Drones can quickly arrive at scenes, providing real-time information to dispatchers and officers.

The program has experienced delays due to weather and scheduling, with only 15 flight days completed so far. Further details about the program, including its potential expansion or modification, are available from the source. Department guidelines for the drone program are also outlined, including prohibitions on certain equipment.
