All 14 listable flights in October 2026. Flights with a sensitive stated purpose are counted in the totals but not listed. Times are local to the agency.

How this page is made

  • Nothing that landed in the last 48 hours is counted, listed or drawn.
  • Drawn paths are simplified to 10 m and lose their first and last 200 m; flights too short to keep an interior are counted but not drawn.
  • The record's free-text description is never read into a page. Flights whose stated purpose names a domestic, sexual-assault, kidnapping, welfare, mental-health or juvenile matter are counted in totals and appear in neither the flight list nor on the map.
  • Purposes are the agency's own words, grouped into classes by a committed lookup table; unmatched values are "Other" and blank ones "Not stated".
  • Times are converted to the agency's clock through the IANA zone database, never a fixed offset.
  • Without filters the map draws at most 300 flights, sampled evenly from the latest full month, and the flight list is that month, capped at 500 rows. With filters the map draws at most 400 and the list at most 500, both sampled evenly, and the count line says when a cap applied. Each month's flights are a static JSON file under flights/ next to this page; the whole-record option is an even 300-flight sample.
  • Record source: Anne Arundel County Police, via AirData public flight page (https://app.airdata.com/u/annearundelpd), licence: unlicensed public transparency record; AirData terms ('solely for your own use'); republication accepted by the owner 2026-10-30 (docs/rights-memo.md). Read from ../var/lib/drone-publish/work/sources/airdata/annearundelpd.json, no network at build time.
  • What this record does not publish: no duration (duration tiles and the length filter are not shown); no flight path (the map shows the published block-level point per flight; there are no per-flight pages or animations). Nothing is inferred to fill those gaps.
