Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Drone Policy

This document outlines a policy for the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by the Sheriff's Office. Key points include: - The purpose is to utilize UAS to enhance the office's mission of protecting lives and property when other means are not available or less effective. - UAS may only be operated by authorized operators who have completed required training. - Privacy considerations require avoiding recording in areas where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists. - Prohibited uses include random surveillance, targeting individuals, or conducting personal business. - A program coordinator will be appointed to ensure compliance with laws and best practices regarding UAS use and management.
