圣路易斯警方公布无人机先响应计划:运行政策11月4日提交警察委员会表决

密苏里州圣路易斯市大都会警察局11月2日上午11时在警察总部举行简报会,介绍无人机先响应计划及拟议的运行保障措施,相关政策将于11月4日提交警察委员会审议。
据 VOTP News STL 报道,如果政策获得批准,无人机最早可在本周末之前开始响应部分911报警电话。该计划由警察局空中响应小组负责执行,此前已提出在北区、中区和南区巡逻区域设立停靠点,部署6架 BRINC 无人机,停靠点位置将按报警量、犯罪趋势与运营需要选定。按拟议模式,无人机可先于警员抵达部分现场,传回实时空中画面,帮助响应人员判断情况、协调资源;警方还列举了搜寻失踪人员、灾害等用途,并称拟用无人机不带武器。
警察委员会已于今年5月批准无人机采购协议,但那次决定并不等于批准目前审议中的运行政策。警方表示,拟议的特别命令草案已于11月2日向媒体发布,也可通过其无人机项目信息页面查询。报道指出,该计划已引发关于隐私、监控、录像调取与公众监督的疑问;截至11月2日上午,委员会尚未作出最终决定,无人机也尚未开始响应报警电话,最终能否在本周内投入使用取决于11月4日会议的表决结果。

St. Louis Police Unveil Drone First Responder Plan Ahead of November 4 Policy Vote
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department in St. Louis, Missouri, held an 11 a.m. briefing at police headquarters on November 2 to explain its Drone as First Responder program and proposed safeguards; the operating policies go before the Board of Police Commissioners on November 4.
According to VOTP News STL, if the policies are approved, drones could begin responding to certain 911 calls before the end of the week. The program is run by the department's Aerial Response Unit, which previously proposed six BRINC drones stationed at docking sites across the North, Central and South patrol areas, with locations selected based on call volume, crime trends and operational needs. Under the proposed model, drones could reach some scenes before officers and transmit live aerial information to help responders evaluate conditions and coordinate resources; police also listed uses such as missing-person searches and disasters, and described the aircraft as non-weaponized.
The Board of Police Commissioners approved a drone acquisition agreement in May, but that decision did not itself approve the operating policies now under consideration. The department circulated its draft special orders on November 2 and said they are also available through its drone program information page. The program has raised questions about privacy, surveillance, access to recorded footage and public oversight; as of Monday morning the board had not taken final action and drones had not begun responding to 911 calls, with any launch this week depending on the November 4 vote.
