• Buena Park Police drone tracks e‑bike suspect (newsantaana.com) — Buena Park police recently used their "Raven" drone to safely track and arrest an e‑bike rider who fled from officers, illustrating how the city is leaning on aerial technology to avoid risky pursuits. With e‑bike injuries surging countywide and Buena Park investing $450,000 in a Drone as First Responder program, residents can expect more drone-assisted responses to dangerous riding and other fast-moving incidents.
