Description

The Dept.of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is conducting an audit of the domestic use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) by DOJ, as well as its support and provision of UAS to other law enforcement agencies and non-profit organizations. UAS are also commonly referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or äóìdrones.äó This interim report presents an overview of DOJäó»s UAS use and policies as of May 2013. Four DOJ law enforcement components had either tested for evaluation or used UAS to support their operations. Although the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the only DOJ component to have used UAS to support its mission, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) plans to deploy UAS to support future operations. The Drug Enforcement Admin. (DEA) and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) have acquired UAS for testing, but have no plans to deploy them operationally. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) have provided $1.2 million in funding to seven local law enforcement agencies and non-profit organizations to purchase UAS for testing or use. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
