“We want to thank Measure and look forward to using the software as part of our efforts to protect the citizens of Los Angeles.” said the LAPD in a statement.
“We created Ground Control to serve clients such as the LAPD in scaling their drone operations,” said Measure’s CEO, Brandon Torres Declet. “We want to support the mission of the 2nd largest police force in the country, it was an easy decision to donate our software toward their efforts.”
