Hamburg's police are using drones for security for the first time on Halloween!
In Hamburg, the police are showing off a whole new side for Halloween this year. On October 31st, a drone unit will be used for the first time to ensure the safety of those celebrating. The city decided to do this in order to emphasize the family-friendly character of the festival and at the same time ensure the necessary security. Because Halloween not only brings with it an exuberant party mood, but also the prospect of more people on the streets, and that creates an important responsibility on the part of the authorities. Loud Mirror Drone technology will help monitor crowds from the air and respond more quickly to possible disruptions.
The decision to introduce the drone unit is no coincidence. Last year, there were a number of incidents during Halloween celebrations that prompted police to consider new technologies. The drone will not only be used to monitor large gatherings of people, but also to support operations should there be conflicts or dangerous situations.
Technical innovations and their use
The drones are equipped with state-of-the-art cameras that can provide clear images in both daylight and darkness. This technical equipment allows the police to identify potential problems early and act quickly before serious incidents occur.
In addition to the drones, the police will also be present with traditional emergency services. This combination of visual surveillance from the air and direct presence on the ground is intended to help ensure a safe and relaxed Halloween for everyone.
The Ghost of Halloween
But it's not just the police who are on the move. The spirit of Halloween is very important in Hamburg these days. From decorated windows to colorful costumes, the preparations can be felt everywhere. There is a lot of traffic in the shops as Hamburg residents are busy choosing their Halloween costumes and buying spooky decorations. It's just fun to slip into the different roles and get in the mood for the spooky, beautiful night.
City authorities hope that with the introduction of drones and increased police presence, next year's Halloween will be even safer and more joyful. The organizers certainly have a good knack for taking the right measures and keeping the tradition alive. With a wink, it will be interesting to see how the use of this new technology will prove itself.
