- After the recent serious crime, the local police area Linköping has decided to use drones as a complement to the police working in Berga, Skäggetorp and Linköping City.
The police have the right to monitor a place with a camera if there is a risk of serious crime and the purpose of the surveillance is to prevent, deter or detect crime, says Ann-Christine Rehnström, local police area manager in Linköping in a press release.
