Two months ago Geneva Police acquired two eagle eggs, which both successfully hatched, according to Tribune de Genève.
The video above shows an eagle in training in the Netherlands two years ago. The French army has also been using the birds to capture drones. They can only be used on small drones. The French military has been using them near military bases and airports.
Geneva police now have to train the young birds, a task that could be completed this year. Training and keeping birds of prey is a complex undertaking with no guarantee of success.
