🚨 SEE A DRONE OVER OAKWOOD? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. 🚨

Residents may begin seeing Amazon delivery drones operating in and around Oakwood Village as Amazon expands its Prime Air delivery service in the Cleveland area.

Don’t be alarmed — you may simply be seeing an Amazon package being delivered.

A few things residents should know:

• Amazon delivery drones operate under FAA regulations.
• The drones use cameras and sensors for navigation and safety.
• Please do not interfere with, attempt to capture, damage, or shoot at a drone.
• A drone sighting by itself is not a reason to call 911.
• If you have a question or concern, please contact the Police Department through our non-emergency number (440) 232-1035
• If you observe a drone operating in a dangerous manner or interfering with police, fire, or EMS operations, please report it to us.

This is a new technology for many of us, and we want to make sure our residents know what they are seeing and who to contact if they have concerns.

We’re keeping an eye on it so you don’t have to.

Thank you for helping us keep Oakwood Village informed and safe.
