(KUTV) The distinct sound of a drone buzzed above the field at Rice-Eccles Stadium Tuesday morning as state, business, and law enforcement leaders learned about the threat that drones can present to critical infrastructure.
Private security retailer Security 101 hosted what they called a first-of-its kind “Drone Security Summit” in response to inquiries and concerns from government and business organizations.
