This is different than a previous small drone project Simple Flying covered about having backpack drones for mapping and military purposes. Using drones as first responders builds on the Redmond PD’s previous work with drones starting in 2018 to help document traffic accidents and find missing persons, allowing Redmond PD to have additional eyes.

On Thursday, August 29, the California legislature officially signed a ban on leaded aviation gasoline, according to AvWeb. This law that enforces the ban is now on its way to the Governor of California, Gavin Newsome. Once he signs off on the bill, which he is predicted to do, the ban would go into effect throughout the state beginning in 2031. California would be the first state to ban leaded aviation fuel if Newsome signs the bill. Thumbnail Image: InsectWorld | Shutterstock
