Sheriff’s deputies in Franklin County have begun to use drones to help with investigations.
Sheriff Don Jones tells News 3 his deputies put a drone to use, during the recent bomb threat to the Franklin County Courthouse.
The September 27th bomb threat at the Franklin County courthouse caused quite the stir.
Jones says what’s more important than saving time, is the drone’s ability to save lives.
“We could check the tops of the buildings and we wouldn’t have been able to do that without the fire department and as you pointed out already that puts someone at risk,” added Jones.
