I can't see the Hermes being good for anything other than open area searches or perhaps pre planned events like protests.
For your bulk standard 'intruders on' shout at 2am a smaller officer deployed drone makes more sense.
The main barrier to effective use of air support now is lack of ground units to contain areas prior to their arrival and during the search.
