Chino PD Scales Up July 4th Fireworks Enforcement to 65 Officers as Drone Program Expands from Single-Unit Test
The Chino Police Department will deploy multiple drones alongside 65 dedicated officers for July 4th fireworks enforcement this year, a major expansion from its 2025 single-drone pilot. Neighboring San Bernardino is introducing drones for the first time, paired with a social host ordinance holding property owners liable. The trend is spreading across California's Inland Empire, even as Stanton's $929,000 in fines and an ACLU lawsuit cast legal shadows over the enforcement model.
