Not every 911 call is met by a drone. A teleoperator monitoring incoming service calls decides when to deploy them. WIRED's analysis of 911 calls, totaling 139,522 from July 2021 to September 2023, reveals that drones were used in about 7 percent of the city's service requests. Specifically, drones were dispatched to nearly half of the incidents involving reports of armed individuals and about a quarter of those related to violent crime. Calls involving mental health evaluations and domestic violence were frequently met with drone dispatches, according to data published by the city.

Police drones have flown through the airspace of the Vistan Apartments on the west side more than 300 times since July 2021. The complex, in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chula Vista, is populated largely by Latine families, many of whom are immigrants. Over the past two years, CVPD drones have spent a total of eight hours flying above the Vistan Apartments’ census blocks and have been dispatched to respond to incidents ranging from indecent exposure to an attempted kidnapping.
