Santa Ana, California · one flight

Thursday 15 October 2026, 6:17 pm

One Santa Ana Police Department drone flight from the agency's published record.

A Santa Ana Police Department drone flew for 4 minutes over Santa Ana on Thursday 15 October 2026 at 6:17 pm PDT, logged purpose: Training and testing.

This flight was too short to keep a drawable path once its first and last 200 m are removed, so nothing is drawn for it.

4 min airborne, from 6:17 pm to 6:21 pm PDT.

0 m flown along the drawn path (first and last 200 m removed; 130 m before the clip).

0 m between the two farthest points of the drawn path.

Training and testing is the purpose the agency logged, grouped into this site's classes.

Thursday and the flight took off in the evening (6 pm to 10 pm).

7d05e6cb-e01a-4a20-9b5e-059ebae09189 is the flight id in the agency's record.

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.
  • The animation times the path at constant speed between the recorded takeoff and landing; the feed carries no per-point timestamps.
  • The raster basemap is Census TIGER road lines (public domain) for the feed's county; a flight outside it, or outside the United States, is drawn on a plain ground. No tile service is rasterised.
  • The flight's own free-text description, the operator, and the agency's external case number are not shown.
