Commissioner General Demelash Gebremichael commented that the newly acquired drones will also facilitate the control of smuggling and the prevention of illegal human trafficking, as quoted by the Addis Standard agency.
Gebremichael stressed that such technology supports the police in crime prevention, surveillance, and investigation operations.
“By integrating and coordinating foot patrol units with drone patrols in major cities such as Addis Ababa, the ability to combat crime has been enhanced. This approach, backed by modern technology, enables the police to address challenges more efficiently and respond to emergencies in an organized and robust manner,” he stressed.
He also revealed the deployment of a cutting-edge road control vehicle, equipped with an independent command and control system.
