Personnel Implications
Exploiting opportunities to utilise drones is often challenging due to lack of availability of trained drone operators. Operators in the North are embedded within the Operational Support Unit and carry out other specialist roles. They are not dedicated/ full-time air support.
As part of the air support strategy development, Police Scotland will consider alternative operating models and options.
