The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted recently to approve the purchase of two unmanned aircraft and assorted accessories for use by the Henry County Police Department.
The $18,661.16 purchase will be funded by the federal asset forfeiture and seized funds account. Police officials said the equipment will be very useful in various operations at a much lower cost than the use of helicopters, which the county does not own and for which assistance is sometimes requested from neighboring counties.
