DFRS Provides Aerial Support During Apprehension in Federal Investigation

MCSO A Zone Patrol and Investigators worked together on an investigation involving unlawful surveillance, which ultimately resulted in federal charges being obtained against an individual.

Through investigative technology and resources at the Regional Investigative Operations Center (RIOC), personnel were able to identify and locate the suspect’s vehicle in the Pittsford business district. Specialized MCSO units subsequently located the vehicle in a parking lot in Henrietta.

DFRS was deployed to provide aerial overwatch as units worked to take the suspect into custody. DFRS maintained observation and relayed valuable information regarding the suspect’s movements after exiting the vehicle, helping responding personnel maintain situational awareness throughout the operation.

The result: DFRS provided critical aerial observation during a coordinated apprehension, helping specialized units monitor the suspect’s movements and safely take the individual into custody.
