🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT – DRONE PROGRAM 🚨

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Milledgeville Police Department, proudly operates a robust and professional drone program that has proven to be an essential tool in public safety operations. Our drones have been instrumental in locating missing persons, finding lost individuals, and apprehending wanted fugitives.

Thanks to our combined efforts, there is now a drone operational and available 24/7 between our two agencies. All drone pilots are FAA Part 107 certified and operate under strict guidelines established by the local policy and federal law.

Last night, while responding to a burglary in progress, the Milledgeville Police Department deployed their drone to assist deputies in the search for a suspect. During this operation, it is believed that someone recklessly fired a gun into the air toward the drone. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened.

Let us be very clear:

📌 Firing at a drone is dangerous and illegal.
📌 Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-60), such behavior may be prosecuted as reckless conduct, a serious offense when someone endangers others through unjustifiable risk.
📌 Under federal law, it is a felony to destroy, damage, disable, or attempt to interfere with an aircraft—which includes law enforcement drones. This can result in severe federal penalties.

We also want to emphasize that no law enforcement drone will ever be used to “spy” on citizens. Every drone mission is tied to a legitimate law enforcement purpose and conducted in full compliance with all applicable laws. Our goal is public safety—period.

If you see a drone and have concerns, we encourage you to call us. We can verify whether it is a law enforcement drone and, if it is not, investigate the legality of the private drone’s use to ensure no laws are being violated.

We appreciate the continued trust and support of our community as we use every available tool to keep Baldwin County safe. ... See MoreSee Less
