7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The Orange Police Department intends to establish a UAS program to enhance police response by
providing immediate air support to manage numerous police functions such as traffic accidents,
pursuits, search and rescue operations, active shooter response, crowd monitoring, and crime scene
analysis. The UAS program requires a policy establishing the guidelines of the program, a
certificate of authorization by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and operator training to
be in compliance with FAA requirements, and the purchase of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV) and equipment for multi -use operations. Proper operating procedures have been
established for the UAS program and for the storage, retrieval and dissemination of images and
data captured by the UAV, which can be found in the Orange Police Department Policy Manual,
Policy No. 609.
To realize the Department's mission to protect lives and property, The Picerne Family Foundation
has selected the Orange Police Department to receive a $12,500 donation to augment police
response. The goal of the foundation is to invest in innovative programs and education that realize
significant social value. The Foundation is funded through a portion of the proceeds from the
Eleven 10 Town & Country Apartments, which is owned by Picerne Group. Of the $12,500
donation, $8,500 will aid in the purchase of an aerial system, with the remaining $4,000 designated
towards police career education.
