Isle of Sheppey drone incident and the Environmental Info Laws 2004, State-aircraft (police) drone operations and the accident notification system.

Pricey FOI Officer,

I’m searching for info below the Freedom of Info Act 2000 and, the place related, the Environmental Info Laws 2004, concerning State-aircraft (police) drone operations and the accident notification system.

1. Please verify whether or not the Isle of Sheppey incident of two August 2025, involving a Kent Police drone hanging an overhead cable and injuring a baby, was formally notified to the AAIB or CAA.
2. Present the date and reference quantity of any such notification and whether or not a security investigation was opened.
3. Provide the steering or memorandum of understanding that governs incident notification and investigation obligations for State-aircraft (police) drones.
4. Present any statistical summaries or anonymised MOR information (Obligatory Prevalence Studies) regarding police-UAS accidents between 2023 and 2025.

Digital response most popular.

Yours faithfully,
