"We have had a great experience integrating the K5 into our City resources, and it's been very beneficial in expanding the police department's ability to monitor public spaces, enhance the public safety element and improve the perception of our community," said Cosme Lozano, chief of police, Huntington Park Police Department.

The city manager also previously credited the K5 ASR for having a positive impact on crime and nuisance activity at Salt Lake Park, which reduced the instances of police activity at the park.
