If you imagine a police use for a drone you likely don't immediately picture a surveillance application. A police drone is a great tool for investigating crime scenes and taking pictures of natural disaster sites. It's faster than helicopters and can search for crime scenes and capture photos of natural hazards. The police drone can track and pursue suspects as well as track fugitives. It is an indispensable tool for crime prevention and public safety.
Grabbit G6
The police department will soon have a new technology, a drone. Grabbit G6 is a police drone that uses facial recognition technology. HigherGround has developed the technology known as Live911. This technology allows a police operator to listen to 911 calls live. This data provides tactical intelligence that allows the teleoperator to launch the drone based upon the reported emergency. The drone can be sent to the scene by police departments before officers realize what is going on.
Skyseer
The cost of a fully-loaded SkySeer is between US$25,000 and $30000. This price includes all electronics, the video surveillance system and a groundstation with computer interfaces. The video interface can send real-time video to a police's laptop. After the case is closed, you can record the video to DVD or Macromedia Flash. A preset flight path is also available for the drone.
AeroVironment
Grand Forks, N.D. Sheriff's Department, is one of few agencies that are using AeroVironment Drones for Police. The company's drone looks similar to a miniature airplane with four propellers and a video cam. Instead of watching a suspect, it can follow them around and take images for authorities to use during an arrest or investigation. The drone is called the Qube. It is not a toy.
Predator
The U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection owns the Predator drone, a sophisticated surveillance aircraft. These drones use thermal imaging and cameras to record footage of criminals at high altitudes. One Predator B flew above the city during a recent incident of civil unrest. Nelson County police believe that the Brossart family was watching the incident and arrested the suspect. Although privacy concerns still remain, drones are an effective tool for law enforcement.
Reaper
The MQ-9 Reaper remote-piloted aircraft is used by United States Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force and the UK Ministry of Defence. Reaper is capable of hunting targets and monitoring terrain. The Reaper can gather intelligence data from multiple sensors and payloads (such as a thermographic camera) and receive operator commands in less that one second.

How To
How to Repair a Damaged Motor on a Drone
First, identify the broken part of the motor to repair it. The best way to do so is to take the propeller off the motor shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you notice something amiss, you'll know what part of your motor to fix.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. The motor must be bent again. For this purpose, you could use a vice grip to hold the motor and bend it back into shape. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once everything looks good, you can put the propeller back on the motor shaft. Then, reattach the wires. Now your drone is ready to fly!
