Deescalation Drone Pilot Program Act of 2025

This proposal, called the Deescalation Drone Pilot Program Act of 2025, would change federal transportation law to set up a pilot program using small, nonlethal drones to support law enforcement and public safety work. The goal is to test how these drones can help during incidents that need careful, calm responses and improve overall public safety.

Key points

• Who is affected: Police and other public safety agencies that respond to emergencies.
• What changes: Creates a pilot program to try out small, nonlethal “de-escalation” drones in the field.
• When: It is set up as a pilot program; specific timing details are not provided in the excerpt.
