The low-altitude economy has emerged as a significant representative of new quality productive forces. Drone technology is deeply integrating into the modern policing system, demonstrating immense potential, particularly in the fields of patrol and surveillance. Using the conceptual framework for building a comprehensive drone application system in a County as a case study, this paper focuses on the key technical challenges and corresponding solutions for drones in policing applications. The research prioritizes exploring pathways to enhance drone flight stability in complex environments, establishing a comprehensive data security assurance system covering transmission, storage, and usage, and proposing recommendations for improving specialized technical standards for police drones. The study indicates that through an integrated "Technology-Management-Standards" tripartite solution, the application of drones in policing can transition from fragmented, single-unit operations to a systematic, intelligent, and practical transformation and upgrade. This provides robust support for constructing a multi-dimensional social security prevention and control system. The practical conception from the County offers a replicable model for drone policing applications in similar county-level regions, while also revealing the need for a continued focus on balancing technological innovation with legal regulations in future development.
