State Police Gain New Powers to Detect and Stop Dangerous Drones.
This law allows state and local police to acquire and use specialized equipment to detect, track, and disable drones posing a threat to public safety, critical infrastructure, or human life. It introduces new tools to protect citizens from illegal drone use while requiring strict federal coordination to prevent interference with air traffic and communications. Citizens can expect increased security near important facilities and events.
Key points
State and local law enforcement can now legally seize control, disrupt, or destroy drones identified as threats (e.g., near airports, power plants, or large gatherings).
A new grant program will help local agencies purchase counter-drone equipment and provide necessary training for personnel.
Federal agencies (DHS, FAA) must approve every system and deployment location to ensure they do not interfere with civilian communication networks or safe air travel.
