Drones used to help Coquitlam searchers find missing New Westminster woman
''Coquitlam Search and Rescue has been called out to aid in locating a missing New Westminster mom and is using a drone to aid in the search.''
Two drones, including a Mavic and an Inspire, will be used to photograph the Queensborough shoreline while Coquitlam SAR volunteers will conduct searches of green spaces in the area, located on the eastern tip of Lulu Island on the Fraser River.

''Drones are an efficient and cost-effective way to support ground searchers, Coyle said.
''In addition to daytime searches, drones can also be equipped with special lights to work at night and can use infrared technology to aid in searches, according to Baur, who also trains people to use drones and is an official examiner for those seeking drone pilot certification.
Drones typically fly ahead of ground searchers and have equipment to relay images that search mangers can use to direct crews.''
