PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVING THE USE OF UAVS IN THE ACTIVITIES OF TOURIST POLICE OFFICERS TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY

In the context of the growing tourist activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan, ensuring public safety requires the introduction of modern technical solutions. One of these tools is unmanned aerial vehicles, which have high potential in patrolling, situation monitoring and rapid response. The article analyzes the advantages and prospects of using unmanned aerial vehicles in the activities of the tourist police, including examples of foreign experience and current practice in Kazakhstan. Special attention is paid to the need for technical modernization, legal regulation, operator training and integration of drones into the digital security system. It is also proposed to introduce a new information sign warning about the implementation of photo and video monitoring on the territory of the tourist site using special technical means installed on the unmanned aerial vehicles. It is concluded that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles does not replace, but complements traditional forms of ensuring public order, contributing to an increase in the effectiveness of monitoring the situation in tourist areas.
