It was on 19 October last year that the police in Linköping made the first decision to use drones for criminal investigations in Skäggetorp and Ryd.
An opportunity they chose to expand to Berga from 2 November.
The decisions were valid for three months and according to local police area manager Ann-Christine Rehnström, the project was successful.

police will now continue to use drones in special events. According to the Camera Surveillance Act, however, there must be a risk of repeated, serious crime.
- It can be about assault, robbery or other type of crime. The purpose is to prevent, prevent and detect, says Ann-Christine Rehnström.
