Drone helps resolve mental health crisis in high-rise hotel

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office helped save a man having a mental health crisis in an Orlando high-rise hotel. The individual was screaming and threatening to harm himself. He then attempted to set a fire in the hotel room on the 18th floor. OCSO deployed an X10 to see inside the hotel room from a window, providing officers on the ground intel on the individual’s location and status. With this intel, officers were able to break into the room safely, apprehend the suspect and provide him with medical care.
