Drones as First Responders in Santa Fe

Santa Fe’s new drone program is turning heads — and raising alarms. Police are deploying drones as first responders over parks, primarily to spot fire hazards, but residents say they’re being used to target homeless encampments. One couple was arrested after a drone hovered over their camp, and now they’re struggling to recover lost belongings and find housing. City officials tout “big wins” from the tech, eyeing AI integration next, while critics warn this tech is eroding rights and deepening the crisis for unhoused people.
