By tracking detailed crime data, it not only allows the FBI to track offenses and trends across the country, but it also gives the police department a comprehensive view of what is occurring in town. This information allows the department to focus services and patrols in a manner that will be most beneficial to the protection of the community. Officers manage a variety of calls that may not result in a criminal investigation or charges but serve to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our citizens. The numbers may show some discrepancies due to not all calls receiving a report.

Buxton Public Safety Drone Program In June of this year, the department was awarded a grant from Narragansett Number One Foundation to purchase a Parrott ANAFI USA Drone. This drone is a new tool the department will be utilizing regarding suspect searches, search and rescue, fire suppression, and much more. This grant also covered accessories and three years of the DroneSense Program that is used to monitor events, incidents and training. This program also tracks equipment, accessories and maintenance schedules. Currently we have two licensed pilots within the department, at remote pilot levels. This training aids our pilots with understanding airspace charting and airspace procedures. We are very excited to deploy this new technology in the upcoming year.
