The Collaboration

UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Northeast OH, Cleveland & Akron, serving the communities of Cleveland and Akron, is renowned for its steadfast support of local initiatives. This collaboration was initiated when a South Russell police officer rented a container from UNITS® and visited our facility. When the opportunity arose to collaborate with the four police precincts, the company eagerly embraced it. The four police precincts were: the Chagrin Falls Police Department, Bainbridge Police Department, Solon Police Department, and South Russell Police Department. Their spacious facility proved to be the optimal venue for drone training exercises, offering a controlled environment with ample space to safely maneuver the drones. Upon discovering that our combined indoor and outdoor storage areas, coupled with our expansive outdoor space adjacent to a wooded area, presented an ideal training ground, the decision to get involved was an easy one.

We were delighted to work alongside law enforcement and strategically arrange vehicles, containers, door openings, lights, and more to simulate various real-life scenarios they might encounter when attempting to locate a suspect or a missing person in hiding. It was a captivating experience to witness these training exercises in action.
