Most of the military's 2018 missions fell under the category of "Defense Support of Civil Authorities." That meant responding to requests from the governors of California and Oregon for support during last year's wildfire season, as well as helping the South Carolina National Guard with its Hurricane Florence flood response. Defense Department drones were also on call throughout 2018 to provide Southern Border support for a regiment of the Army.
In 2018, the military also used its unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in three cases to provide Defense Department installation and airspace support. It also responded to a request from the governor of New York for support during an emergency response training exercise. And for five months during the fiscal year, it used drones to support the US Customs and Border Patrol's counterdrug operations.

Yep and Now Police departments are using them plus all radio dispatches (not just secret raids)are being encrypted. This is military technology creeping into civilian police tactics to ensure your safety and security?

Monahan argued that officer safety would be so well served by drones that "it would be negligent for us not to utilize this technology."0 -
