“Now, with GPS and phones being a lot more accurate, it'll give us a lot more accurate location of that phone call, which will either give a better representation of where that call came from to first responders, but it also helps route that to the proper public safety answering point, be it Allen County Sheriff's Office or the Lima Police Department,” said Jared Gesler, Allen County EMA director and 9-1-1 coordinator.
Some local students took flight, as they learn a little more about drones thanks to Rhodes State College. The Rhodesology mini-camp Saturday morning focused on precision agriculture drones, similar to the ones that local professionals use in the fields. The mini-camps are for kids second through seventh grade and are just a sample of the hands on activities that the students would do during the Rhodesology week long summer camps. The students showed of their flying skills on drones that were more advanced than they are used to.
