A pilot project in B.C. is utilizing drone-detecting technology to combat the influx of weapons and drugs being dropped into prisons by drones. Union of Canadian Correctional Officers reports daily incidents of drones delivering contraband in various disguises, prompting concerns about violence and drug-related issues in prisons. Cellphones and contraband footballs are among the items being dropped, leading to increased security risks. The implementation of drone-detection technology, involving radar and sound detection methods, is part of efforts to address these challenges. Despite legal limitations on taking over drones in Canada, the initiative aims to enhance security measures in correctional facilities.
