The Coconut Creek Police Department is gaining some new drone equipment.

During the October 9 meeting, the commission passed a resolution to authorize the use of Federal Law Enforcement Trust Funds from the Federal Forfeiture Justice Fund for the purchase of an Axon Loki 2 drone starter kit, Axon Sigyn ground robot starter kit, Axon ground control system starter kit, Axon Loki 2 spare parts kit, Axon P7 tactical bag, an Axon Sky Hero operator starter course, and other equipment. The cost for these items will be $28,000.

Police Chief Fred Hofer said that because justice fund money is being used for the purchase, the city’s taxpayers will not pay anything for new drone equipment.

The commission also agreed to approve the purchase and installation of new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units to replace the existing units at Fire Station 50 with Master Mechanical Services, Inc. The project will cost $445,772.
