With the increasing payload and commercial proliferation of drones, creating ubiquitously available public displays becomes reality. While previous research suggested using flying public displays for emergency scenarios and crowd control, in this paper, we explore practical application possibilities of a flying media display – called DisplayDrone – in a police context and law enforcement. While a display is positioned in a visible location in 3D space, police officers can dynamically change the displayed text using a tablet-based control application. The work indicates that flying media displays have a large potential as a police deployment tool, but they are still subject to further investigations and technical developments.
