In June 2024, the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department acquired a fleet of ANAFI USA drones to implement in their UAS program.
D.C. police will start using the US-made Parrot ANAFI USA drones to respond alongside officers to some calls, including barricade situations, large-scale public gatherings, pursuit cases, and searching for missing people.
“These drones will help us solve more crimes and allow us to use our finite resources more efficiently.” Mayor Bowser said.
