UAS – Unmanned Aircraft System Program

Our Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) at the Monroe County Sheriff's Office assists our deputies with "eyes in the sky" to conduct aerial searches in the case of missing persons, wanted individuals, or critical incident scenes.  These "drones" are an asset to our agency in providing a bird's eye view of a scene unfolding on the ground.
