La Mesa Police are looking to add drones as first responders.
The City Council has approved the department's grant application reports NBC 7.
The 2-million dollar program would include a real time crime center that would help coordinate police responses in the field, and shorten response times. The La Mesa Police Department uses drones, but they're not first responders
The city will find out later this summer if they win the grant. The pilot program would run from October through September of next year.
