Atlantic City will be operating an expanded drone program next year that officials say will help first responders better monitor the beaches and ocean to keep visitors safer. Beginning in the spring, beachgoers may see drones flying above them more frequently, as the Beach Patrol performs more flights to assess safety, reports the Press of Atlantic City.
The city currently has nine drones, and the more advanced ones have stronger cameras and technology, and are better able to fly in windy conditions.
