An unmanned aerial vehicle subsystem includes a vehicle-mountable light bar. The light bar includes a periphery and a plurality of lights configured to illuminate through at least a portion of the periphery. The light bar further defines a volume within which is positioned an unmanned aerial vehicle pad and a tether extension and retraction mechanism. The subsystem further includes an unmanned aerial vehicle having at least one camera. A tether is operable with the tether extension and retraction mechanism and extendable from the tether extension and retraction mechanism to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The tether is configured to, during flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, transmit power to the unmanned aerial vehicle and transmit data signals to and from the unmanned aerial vehicle.
