BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a remarkable demonstration of innovative technology in law enforcement, the Buffalo Police Department successfully rescued a man from the frigid temperatures in South Buffalo using a newly acquired tethered drone.

The drone features advanced infrared capabilities and a high-definition camera, enabling officers to locate individuals in challenging conditions, such as extreme cold or low visibility. The significant investment in this technology underscores the department's commitment to utilizing modern tools to protect and serve the community effectively.
During the rescue operation, officers were able to quickly assess the situation and locate the man, who was in danger of freezing.
