A fleet of 20 drones were launched into the skies of Bayan county, Harbin on March 15, thanks to a new initiative by local authorities.
The drones, acting as "air policemen", will be used to patrol 18 villages and towns in the county to improve law enforcement, focusing on the illegal burning of straw, emergency rescue and locating wanted criminals.
