HeroFundUSA, Inc. – THE FIRST-RESPONDER’S FIRST RESPONDER!
JCFD Receives Grant
A charity in Blue Springs, HeroFundUSA, focused on first responders helped buy the Lee's Summit Police Department's first drone.
The $5,000 drone will help document crime scenes, map crashes sites, and conduct search-and-rescues.
"Last night, we got a call from one of the sergeants that they wanted to try and located a man who was suicidal under one of the shelters at one of the parks," LSPD Public Information Officer Sgt.
