Skydio: Advice for Implementing DFR
Follow UST

RAs a trusted partner for public safety agencies in the U.S., Skydio has published crucial advice for deploying Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs as soon as possible, with the goal of bettering public safety.

Drones have already emerged as a vital resource for law enforcement agencies, providing the aerial advantage for more innovative operational strategies and options.

Skydio’s blog from Noreen Charlton, who focuses on the informed implementation of 3D technologies for public safety applications, explores various public safety drone methods that are already being successfully applied by agencies around the U.S.

These implementations aim to prove the value of drones to the safety of individual communities, increasing officer safety and improving the effectiveness of DFR programs. While there is much more detail in the full article, the central advice given is:

  • Start using drones in public safety
  • Add drones to patrol vehicles
  • Activate your DFR program by enabling Remote Piloting of Patrol Deployed Drones
  • Add Dock-Based Drones to your DFR Program
  • Integrate with your Systems to Automate Response

Skydio is attending XPONENTIAL 2024 in San Diego from 23-25 April at Booth #5337.
