One way that drones have proven to be useful is they've helped emergency services worldwide to vastly improve search and rescue efficiency, helping authorities to cover more area with less manpower. While some drones have been specifically designed to help with search missions, various agencies have found that there are many drone options in general that can help to get the job done.
Last winter, drones had helped authorities to locate a missing woman in North Carolina in only 30 minutes.
In Florida, authorities recently deployed a team of 6 drones to help find a 77 year old man who had gone missing for two days, who suffered from mental and health challenges. Eventually, the drones helped authorities to find the man and he was returned safely. More and more we are seeing that police have used drones to help find missing persons or to even help search for and chase suspects.
Once a person goes missing, their chances of survival drop significantly after the first 18 hours.
Drones are much cheaper than hiring helicopter teams to do the job and emergency personnel from the United States to Australia, have been turning to consider what help drones might be able to offer in search and rescue missions.
Thousands of people are reported missing in the United States every year and drones could prove to be vastly beneficial in extending resources to help find those individuals. From drones equipped with thermal imaging to those which offer facial recognition software, there is a lot of benefit that they can provide to the mission.

3k wow. Thats expensive, but the benefit of being able to go places humans can't will probably make it worth while.

Not exactly, its a bot I'm rewriting and needed to test it out and it decided to vote on the comment, so obviously I go to check the comment out to make sure the vote went through properly and all and I stumbled upon a solid post.
The bot votes for the posts of the people it follows, and nobody was making posts so I enabled comments on it and it went straight for this comment by @ganjafarmer.
