Aerial Investigation Research (AIR) Pilot Program

 The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) is committed to developing innovative, evidence-based solutions to improve public safety in Baltimore.  To evaluate a promising new technology, BPD ran the Aerial Investigation Research (AIR) pilot program from May 1 - October 31, 2020.  During the program one or more aircraft operated approximately 40 hours per week and collected imagery of over 90% of the City. Resolution was one pixel per person, making individuals and vehicles appear as single dots that can be tracked from a crime scene. Identifiable characteristics such as clothing, ethnicity, and license plate numbers were not discernible. 


The contract for the Aerial Investigation Research (AIR) pilot program was ended by the Baltimore City Board of Public Works on February 2, 2021
