Vice President of Advanced Public Safety Projects BRINC Drones San Diego, California
National tragedies continue to grip the nation as communities look to their police agencies for solutions. Law enforcement has to reimagine police response to increase safety and obtain real-time information for better-informed decisions. The idea of deploying small drones to respond to emergencies is gaining momentum. The Drone as First Responder (DFR) operation is an innovative use of drones for public safety. DFR is a program whereby public safety drones are pre-positioned in each service area, ready to be launched immediately in response to an emergency call for service, and live-stream the video to officers and communications centers.
Learning Objectives:
At the culmination of this session, participants will be able to understand the benefits and challenges of an agency drone program and its impact on emergency communication centers.
At the culmination of this session, participants will be able to identify the different use cases for drones in law enforcement agencies.
At the culmination of this session, participants will be able to analyze and understand the importance of having policies and procedures identifying when dispatchers should be allowed to view real-time drone videos.
