When contacted, Denver police admitted that the drone belonged to them and was part of a four-month first responder program, on the way to the scene of a call about a suicidal person near to the apartment.

Can someone tell me what a drone could do to help a suicidal person?

Attach itself to the ground below and spin the rotors really fast to cause an updraft that prevents them from hitting the ground?
