Protecting these areas is not without risks and vulnerabilities and requires a comprehensive multi-agency cooperative approach to safeguard individuals, assets, information, and organizations from various threats.
Drone threats transcend borders and remain a priority for protection and preparedness at local and national levels. This problem requires preparation, training, policies, procedures, interagency collaboration, and technology.
This report focuses on the evolution of drones and how this applies to domestic settings. It reviews the current and potential drone threats and draws upon existing guidance to distill considerations around the protective security and multi-agency preparedness needed to counter and respond to hostile drones.
