German police commissioner: AfD membership incompatible with service
Germany's Federal Police Commissioner Uli Grötsch has voiced opposition to police officers being members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, calling it "incompatible" with serving in law enforcement. "AfD membership and working as a police officer are incompatible," Grötsch told the Rheinische Post newspaper in remarks published late on Monday. The former Social Democrat (SPD) lawmaker added that officers who demonstrate clear commitment to the AfD should be dismissed. "For me, commitment means openly supporting the party, running for local or city council or even for the Bundestag," he said. Grötsch pointed to a recent decision by Germany's domestic intelligence agency to classify the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" organization in early May, saying there was concrete evidence that the party pursued efforts that threaten Germany's free democratic order. However, the agency then suspended the classification, which would have granted it broader surveillance powers over the party, while the AfD pursues legal action. Pending a ruling from the Cologne administrative court, the agency will continue to treat the party as a "suspected" extremist case. The anti-immigration AfD is the strongest opposition force in parliament after coming second in February's elections.

La Vergne Police Department launches first-ever drone team
LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The La Vergne Police Department is forming a new drone team to help fight crime in their community. The team currently has eight drones. Five bigger drones will be used for the public and three other drones will primarily be used for training purposes. Detective Steven Crotts started building the groundwork for the team in 2022. As of publication, the team already has three members and they're looking to expand to a team of at least five. Crotts said the drone team is a start to reducing police response times for La Vergne residents. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More 'Missing person, search and rescue, officer safety — as far as clearing buildings or clearing residences when it's needed,' Crotts said. '[It will be] deployed with K9s while we're looking for a suspect that's fled the scene and there's some type of a pursuit — anything like that.' Crotts said he sees the department moving to a drone-as-first-responder approach. Crotts said that the approach involves drones stationed in the city, which would then launch from the area to respond to emergency calls. Within the next five to 10 years, Crotts hopes to expand to a First Response Drone team to continue reducing response times and serving the community more effectively.
