Is that a drone or a submarine? Bird or fish?
Members of the elite SWAT team at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) reportedly decided to take the agency’s brand new drone for a test drive during an exercise at the Port of Palm Beach the other day — and an untrained “pilot” as well as gusty winds pushed the $180,000 robotic marvel over the Intracoastal.
Then INTO the Intracoastal.
“It’s been the talk of PBSO for weeks,” our PBSO insider says. “There’s some new program where PBSO gets these fancy drones, and obviously those who use them need additional training.
“The SWAT team took one of the drones on an exercise at the Port but they ended up asking a marine unit involved in the training to fish it out of the drink. Everybody’s been calling the SWAT bosses to make fun of them.”
