50 drones will be purchased, likely to start by March
In the press conference held at the police headquarters, ADG Modernization Sudhanshu Kumar said that a total of 50 drones will be purchased for the drone unit.

Keep a close eye on crowd control and law and order

Live monitoring of the entire area can be done from the height, which will help the police in taking quick decisions and sending forces immediately if needed.
Keep an eye on criminals in remote and inaccessible areas
The drones given to STF will be used especially to keep an eye on organized criminals operating in Diara and remote areas.
ADG said that police reach is limited in such areas, but effective monitoring of the activities of criminals will be possible through drones.
Use of technology will increase in policing
With the formation of the drone unit, the functioning of Bihar Police will become more technology based. This is expected to give new strength to crime control, traffic system and safety of common people.
