The city will add two new Bell 505 Basic Aircrafts to its fleet after a unanimous vote by Columbus City Council Monday evening. Other city police departments like Dublin and county agencies like the Franklin County Sheriff's Office have started using a cheaper alternative: drones.

Many police departments around Ohio use drones, or plan to buy them soon. Some officials view drones as a viable replacement for helicopters.

Columbus City Council voted to approve a broker to help sell a $3.4 million helicopter Tuesday.
