Adds FLIR-Equipped Drones To Augment The County's Helicopter Service
The Oconee County, South Carolina Sheriff’s Office has acquired some new technology. It is now one of a few agencies in South Carolina's upstate to be able to employ unmanned aerial support. The system will be used in conjunction with the department's helicopter for law enforcement and first responder events such as; search and rescue missions, such as lost hikers, locating the elderly as a part of Project Life Saver, assistance with drownings, and to locate potentially dangerous fleeing suspects.
