In response to a series of unexplained drone sightings reported across the nation, Governor Kevin Stitt has taken decisive action to bolster airspace security in Oklahoma. The Governor has directed the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to invest in advanced drone detection devices. This initiative aims to safeguard the state's airspace and ensure the safety of its citizens.
The decision comes amid growing concerns about the implications of unauthorized drone activity, which can pose risks to public safety and privacy. By equipping the DPS with state-of-the-art monitoring technology, Oklahoma aims to proactively address these challenges. The new devices will enable law enforcement to detect and respond to drone incursions more effectively, providing a layer of security that has become increasingly necessary in today's technologically advanced environment.
Governor Stitt emphasized the importance of staying ahead of potential threats and ensuring the safety and security of Oklahoma's airspace. This investment marks a significant step towards enhancing the state's capabilities in monitoring and managing drone activity.
