The Environmental Supervision Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will be equipped with three unmanned aerial vehicles for law enforcement inspection.

According to the Inner Mongolia Commission of Environmental Protection, the three unmanned aerial vehicles will help to strengthen the region's environmental law enforcement. Through aerial photography and remote control, environmental supervision can free itself from geographical and territorial restrictions to get firsthand visual data for law enforcement.

A mobile environmental supervision and law enforcement platform was established by the region. Each of the law enforcement staff has a portable detector to retrieve and send evidence in real-time, said Li Jian, deputy head of the region's environmental protection commission.

As soon as the three unmanned aerial vehicles are in place, the aerial law enforcement for environmental protection will cover the entire region.
