The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Sept. 1 approved a memorandum of understanding for a “drone as first responder” pilot at Potomac Mills, allowing police to launch an aircraft from the mall when a call is dispatched instead of driving a drone to the scene.
The vote on item 6-R passed with Occoquan Supervisor Kenny Boddye and Gainesville Supervisor George Stewart abstaining. Coles Supervisor Yesli Vega, Neabsco Supervisor Victor Angry, Potomac Supervisor Andrea Bailey and Woodbridge Supervisor Jeannie LaCroix supported the drone item. A companion agreement, item 6-O, for live sharing of some Potomac Mills security-camera images, passed after the same round of questions.
