drones<\/a> to track suspect vehicles using connected cameras and license plate readers.<\/p>\n\u201cRandom gunfire is an issue in D10. I heard random gunfire Sunday morning along Adelia and Walnut Hill. I should have reported it. Once we have drones, I will do that. Until then, it feels like we don\u2019t have officers who can get there soon enough,\u201d said Councilwoman Kathy Stewart, Fox 4 KDFW reported.<\/p>\n
The system promises response times between 30 seconds and two minutes. Real-time drone footage would stream directly to officers\u2019 devices as they race to scenes.<\/p>\n
Dallas already owns separate gunfire-detection equipment and drones. However, the technologies don\u2019t yet communicate with each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need it to be able to all work together,\u201d said Major Yancey Nelson with DPD, per Fox 4.<\/p>\n
District 4, encompassing parts of Oak Cliff and South Dallas, leads the city in random gunfire reports. Police plan billboard campaigns there, warning potential shooters about the coming crackdown.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you go strong,\u201d said Councilwoman Cara Mendelsohn. \u201cThe billboard needs to tell people to stop. It is terrorizing people. Unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
No timeline exists for the program\u2019s launch. The department must first acquire technology to integrate its existing systems into one unified network.<\/p>\n
The push follows high-profile incidents<\/a> like the New Year\u2019s Eve bridge shooting. Two men were arrested after a viral video showed them firing from the Margaret McDermott Bridge, where police recovered over 100 shell casings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas police are developing an integrated drone system to combat random gunfire, aiming to slash response times to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,401,33372,61704,1884],"class_list":["post-159997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-dallas-police","tag-drone-footage","tag-random-gunfire","tag-south-dallas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
