What happened
Chief Robert Tracy outlined a drone program for St. Louis, which is intended to allow drones to serve as first responders to 911 calls. The Board of Police Commissioners is expected to approve the policies governing the program later this week. The American Civil Liberties Union is monitoring the policy.

Why it matters
The implementation of the drone program requires municipal spending and changes public safety operations in St. Louis. The policy dictates that the drones cannot be armed or used for routine surveillance, though questions remain regarding data handling.
