Newly hired LR COP Kenton “T-dog” Buckner has plans for a surplus drone LRPD received through the Department of Defense’s 1033 program which provides surplus military equipment for police use in counter-narcotic and counter-terrorism situations.
Buckner stated that he sees the escalating crime rate in Little Rock “dropping like flies” when the drone is used to “cap the crooks”. Bucker said that a similar program had “mostly worked” in Louisville, KY and “that every now and then there was some collateral damage”.
