Draganflyer X6 UAV RC Helicopter Assists Police at Traffic Accident Scene

Saskatoon December 7 2009 – Draganfly Innovations was called to the scene of a traffic accident to aid the Saskatoon Police Service in collecting evidence for their investigation. The weather was bitterly cold with the temperature hovering around -28°C / -18 ° F. With the added wind chill the temperature would be corrected to -36° C / -33° F .

The Draganflyer X6 was used to take aerial photos of the scene which provide clear evidence for the police to use in their investigation. The Draganflyer X6 is able to be deployed quickly which allowed police to collect evidence and open the road to normal traffic flow in a minimal amount of time.



The Draganflyer X6 saw its first operation use in traffic collision photography on May 28 2009. The Saskatoon Police service and the Ontario Provincial Police have been approved to use the Draganflyer X6 in daily operations. The Ontario Provincial Police and the Draganflyer X6 were featured in an article by Blueline magazine.

Recently the Mesa County Sheriff got FAA approval in the form of a Certificate of Authority to use the Draganflyer X6 in their police operations. Draganfly Innovations aircraft are playing an ever increasing role in helping the police that protect our communities.
