DroneShield Limited announced that it has been selected by the Boston Police Department as the exclusive drone security provider for the 2017 Boston Marathon, to be held on 17 April 2017. DroneShield was the exclusive drone security provider for Boston Marathon in 2015 and 2016, with this year's deployment building on the successful relationship DroneShield has enjoyed with Boston PD. DroneShield's systems will be placed at strategic points of the marathon course, with ability to provide immediate, real time alerts to the relevant Boston Police Department officers and other security personnel giving them the ability to localise and neutralise a potential drone threat.
