“Late last month, a set of documents showed that the SJPD acquired a Hexacopter called the Century Neo 660, along with a GoPro video camera and live video transmitter. The nearly $7,000 January 2014 purchase was funded through a grant from the Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative, a regional arm of the Department of Homeland Security. SJPD Police Chief Larry Esquivel signed off on the drone acquisition nearly two months after the drone was actually acquired, specifically stating contingency on a review by the San Jose City Attorney’s Office, a ‘policy in place,’ and ‘messaging/outreach to public,’ none of which appear to have actually taken place.”
