The drones will depart and land from the stationhouse rooftop while operated from police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
The NYPD says that it plans to introduce drones in up to five police precincts and expand its fleet of 85 drones in a new initiative. Video from the drones will be relayed in real-time.
"I would love to see these drone patrol areas that that the cops cannot get to, that they have to use maybe a scooter or a bicycle," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry.
