The West New York Police Department has an important message for the community!
As America250 celebrations take place across the region, the West New York Police Department reminds residents and visitors that many event locations will be designated as NO DRONE ZONES by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Flying a drone near these events is illegal and dangerous and poses a serious risk to public safety, emergency operations, and airspace security.
Violators may face:
- Fines exceeding $100,000
- Criminal charges
- Possible incarceration
- Confiscation of their drone
Leave your drone at home and help keep these historic celebrations safe for everyone.
See a drone operating illegally?
- Call 911 immediately
- Notify on-site law enforcement
- Report suspicious activity to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI
The West New York Police Department, in coordination with our federal, state, and local partners, will be actively monitoring for unauthorized drone activity and enforcing all applicable laws.
NO DRONES. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Let's celebrate America 250 safely and responsibly.
