  • 📢 Focus: Costa Mesa has put a Skydio/Axon drone purchase and DFR (Drone As First Responder) on the agenda. "DFR would be a major change to our city’s approach to policing. It demands full transparency from the city and getting engagement and consent from the community, not just a purchase contract buried in an agenda item with little notice. We ask that a) the council move this to a future time to give residents a chance to engage and b) consider asking for a discussion/town hall of broader context of policing tools and transparency: use of autonomous tools, data policies for both city and privately managed tools, etc." Public comments also accepted via email by 12pm on 10/6.
