📰 News we're reading

• Vernon Hills PD seeking automated drone (audacy.com) — Oak Brook residents may be interested that Vernon Hills is considering an automated drone system similar to the one Oak Brook Police already use to reach incident scenes quickly. Officials there say drones often arrive before officers, help assess situations, and sometimes show that no in-person response is needed, though costs could reach six figures annually.
