The SPF continued to leverage technology to enhance its operational effectiveness. In 2018, the SPF developed and deployed a customised Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with blinkers, search lights and an audio warning system – to augment its operations. Apart from strengthening police presence on the ground, the UAV could also live stream aerial situational images and videos to the Police command centre, thus enabling better decision making and operational response.
