The Anne Arundel County Police Department (AACoPD) announces its annual countywide holiday safety patrols initiative, which this year includes a specialized Drone as First Responder (DFR) pilot program to be deployed in the Western District.

Beginning Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the department will deploy Skydio DFR technology operating from an automated dock located near the intersection of Evergreen Road and Waugh Chapel Way. The system will provide rapid, real-time aerial support across the Waugh Chapel Towne Centre, the Route 3 commercial corridor, and adjacent areas of Gambrills, Odenton, and Crofton.

With seasonal increases in vehicular and pedestrian traffic throughout major commercial corridors, retail areas often see a rise in property crimes, shoplifting, and vehicle thefts. DFR technology will be available for active calls for service, giving our officers critical, real-time information to enhance situational awareness and reduce response times.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭:

Starting November 11, visitors to Waugh Chapel Towne Centre and nearby residents at the Monarch apartments and townhomes, may observe a compact, unmanned aircraft launching from, operating near, or returning to its docking station near Evergreen Road.

To maintain clarity and community trust, AACoPD emphasizes the following operational parameters:

• Dispatched Solely for Active Calls: The aircraft does not conduct continuous random surveillance or proactive neighborhood patrols. Deployments occur exclusively in response to active 911 calls, in-progress emergency reports, traffic incidents involving potential injury, or officer-requested support.

• Rapid On-Scene Assessment: The DFR aircraft can reach nearby retail centers and traffic corridors within minutes, delivering crucial real-time updates to responding ground units and emergency medical personnel.

• Adherence to Privacy Standards: En route to and from calls, onboard optics remain oriented toward the horizon and are not directed down into private residential properties. Any recorded video follows the department’s strict body-worn camera evidentiary and data retention guidelines. The AACoPD is committed to operating this pilot program with the highest standards of safety, responsibility, and transparency.
