OPP are using a new tool as Snowmobile Safety Week kicks off across the Province.
Six snowmobilers have already died this year, three of whom were travelling on unsafe ice.
To monitor snowmobile safety, the OPP are taking to the sky with their ‘Unmanned Aerial Systems’ to help with speed enforcement, search and rescue and detecting dangerous snowmobile operation. “Unmanned Aerial Systems’ are, of course, better known as ‘drones.’
Drone technology allows a view and accessibility to areas that are otherwise inaccessible by other vehicles.
