Drones are now widespread and offer various possible applications that differ widely such as the predator drones
used in the Syrian conflict (thenation.com) to non-lethal applications such as toy drones. Often due to reasons relating
to guaranteeing the safety of government security personnel and the way government contractors can maximise
their profits: equipment tends to become more sophisticated and more expensive. It is the authors’ opinion that
since government expenditure is financed by tax payer money, there is a moral imperative to minimise costs relating
to government spending wherever possible. Since drones are a potentially inexpensive resource as compared to a
helicopter, and can be operated without direct contact of government personnel, it is the authors’ opinion that they are
a cost-efficient and safe prospect for future use in crowd. To ensure public safety on national holidays such as Kingsday,
the Dutch police employs the use of helicopters to monitor the massive crowds in Amsterdam. The overhead view
allows the police to disperse personnel efficiently throughout the city. Additionally police officers monitor the live video
footage from the helicopter in order to assess any potential dangers. We believe that drones could assist in crowd
monitoring in the future. Our research has focused on drone surveillance of a predetermined area whilst making note
of the number of police officers in that area. The goal of which is to assess the use of drones to monitor crowds in the
future.
