In August 2012, the city also launched the use of a Cessna 172 aircraft equipped with a remote control camera for use in patrolling the city. Initially, aircraft surveillance was carried out in a single ten-hour shift daily, but its use has been expanded to nighttime hours, as well.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-lancaster-aerial-surveillance-20120904,0,3258238.story|title=Lancaster needs to act cautiously with aerial surveillance|date=September 4, 2012|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=June 28, 2018}}</ref>
