'Feedback from the public is that they appreciate the surveillance we are conducting using UAVs at many locations along the coast.
Mr Manieri said the drone program has been a success in improving the safety of beachgoers. 
'Many people feel that their safety is improved if they know the drones are up in the air and keeping watch', he said.
