51. Oh the drones have alot of potential real benefits both in utility and in monetary savings.

For example they can be dispatched to the scene of a reported accident to do an initial assessment from the air faster than a police officer is likely to be able to respond.
Plus there is the savings in fuel as without having to carry any passengers the drone should be able to fly for far longer than todays helicopters which hopefully means the police wont have to use the big expensive to operate planes and helicopters as much.
They can also be able to scout out around wildfires as well as spot people from the air needing assistance due to a natural disaster such as flooding plus they could be equipped to be mini wifi and cell towers for areas where such things are spotty and they can of course help track fleeing vehicles from police which might be useful especially if it helps cut down on high speed chases.
