Bellingham’s police drone program promises faster responses, but raises questions about privacy and transparency Bellingham police say their new Drone as First Responder program can give officers and other emergency responders a view of an incident within minutes of a 911 call. But as the department deploys drones across the city, residents and privacy advocates are questioning how the technology is used, what information it collects and how the public can hold the department accountable. The City of Bellingham and Bellingham Police Department did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication. The Bellingham Police Department launched its Drone as First Responder program on Oct. 6, according to the City of Bellingham’s announcement. Trained officers remotely pilot drones to emergency scenes, where live video is intended to help responders assess situations before they arrive at the scene.

Nearby: Anacortes, WA‘Defending our home’: Native veterans reflect on service
Greater percentage of Native Americans served in U.S. armed forces By the time Rochelle Goins-Hetzel enlisted at 18 in the U.S. Air Force, she had already faced more than her fair share of formidable challenges. But amid the tumult of her life, there was one constant: The land. “Every Indigenous person, whether they know it or not, is intrinsically connected to the land,” said Goins-Hetzel, who is of Cherokee, Nansemond and Tuscarora heritage living in Oak Harbor and an active member of the Samish Nation Canoe Family in Anacortes. “The land provides us with the waters that we need for healing and ceremony. It gives us food. It gives us medicine. It’s everything we need. And so we need to advocate for it.” Goins-Hetzel, 59, is one of 140,000 to 150,000 living Native American and Alaska Native veterans that will observe Veterans Day on Nov. 11, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
