In a speech Thursday at The Orleans, Clark County Sheriff-elect Kevin McMahill—who as sheriff will command the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police—told a crowd of about 200 that the police department plans to deploy hundreds of drones to shootings, but he did not provide a date for the program to begin.
“For the first time in our agency history, we’re going to be able to keep more officers safe, reduce officer-involved shootings and find more suspects than we ever have, quite frankly,” he said at a breakfast hosted by the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, also known as the National Association for Industrial and Office Parks of Southern Nevada.
