A proposal to expand a police drone program has been withdrawn. The decision was made by a city council, which chose not to vote on the matter.
The police department had been applying for a federal grant worth $200,000 to support the expansion.
Further details about the proposal and the council's decision are available from the source, but it is known that the expansion plan is no longer being considered.
