SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - The Shreveport Police Department is now using some new drone technology in some situations that may be dangerous to officers and/or civilians.

The new drone tech was recently used during the arrest of a homicide suspect. The man, who is a previously convicted felon, was found inside a home. Officers were able to use a drone to confront the man, with SWAT support, and make an arrest without injury or gunfire.
