The Island's police are looking for a contractor to provide drone services.

The Department of Home Affairs is seeking expressions of interest from those able to use a drone to support operational policing.

The drone operator would provide a 24-hour call-out facility to assist officers during crashes, at crime scenes and with area searches.

The drone would need to be able to capture video and still footage, a live video feed, live thermal images and operate in adverse weather.

The contract would be for an initial term of 12 months. Those wishing to express an interest can contact Inspector Allan Thompson at Police Headquarters by January 26th.
