CARSON — In a move that sets the tone for the future of city governance and service delivery, the City of Carson has announced the adoption of a comprehensive drone policy. This policy will chart the landscape of urban management by leveraging the potential of unmanned aircraft systems or UAS across various city departments.
Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes expressed excitement about the city’s new drone policy, stating it “promises to revolutionize the way we approach tasks like inspections, emergency response, and environmental monitoring.”
The new policy outlines responsible usage of drones, focusing on practical applications such as infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, emergency response and community engagement. It ensures that all operations uphold the highest standards of safety, privacy, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. The drone policy is expected to serve as a benchmark for public service delivery.
“We’re committed to ensuring that our technological advancements benefit every Carson resident.” Mayor Davis-Holmes added. “I invite everyone to join us on March 21st to the State of the City where I will reveal exciting new initiatives that build on this commitment.”
In anticipation of the formal unveiling of the mayor’s initiatives for fiscal year 2024-2025, this policy serves as an example of Carson’s approach. The mayor extends an invitation to residents and interested parties to attend the State of the City, March 21, where she will present this and other new initiatives.
The city council, staff, and various stakeholders, including public safety departments, collaborated to ensure the policy provides a comprehensive framework that addresses the unique needs of Carson while maintaining a high standard of safety and privacy. In the development of this drone policy, the City of Carson partnered with Airspace Link, a consultant in airspace management and drone operations. Their expertise, according to the city, helped shape a policy that is both innovative and in line with federal aviation standards.
With no additional cost for policy implementation, departments opting to utilize drone technology will manage budgeting for procurement maintenance, and training costs.
