Aerodome and Flock Safety Forge Strategic Partnership to Expand Drone-As-First-Responder Technology for Public Safety Agencies
24 Julio 2024 - 10:00AM
Aerodome, the leader in Drone-As-First-Responder (DFR)
technology, and Flock Safety, the all-in-one technology solution
that keeps communities safe, today announced a strategic
partnership that will integrate Aerodome’s DFR solution with Flock
Safety’s proprietary crime-solving platform. The two companies will
provide an extra layer of safety for communities by deploying
drones to emergency situations and sensor alerts, significantly
decreasing response times and improving officer and community
safety.
“Flock Safety's platform has protected thousands of communities
across the country, and this first-of-its-kind integration will
greatly enhance public safety within those communities,” said Rahul
Sidhu, Co-Founder and CEO of Aerodome. “We’re proud to partner with
Flock Safety to provide their public safety agencies with connected
air support capabilities.”
“First responders across the country have already seen the
benefits of building a Drone-As-First-Responder program, but until
Aerodome, no platform has offered DFR 2.0 – a scalable way to
respond to calls for service, whether a shooting, carjacking, or
AMBER Alert, and dispatch eyes in the sky immediately,” said
Garrett Langley, CEO and Founder of Flock Safety. “After seeing the
technology that Rahul and his team have built, we are confident
that Aerodome will be the company that brings DFR to the mainstream
of policing in the United States.”
With the exclusive Aerodome-Flock Safety integration, when Flock
Safety Falcon® license plate recognition (LPR) or Raven® audio
detection sensors detect incidents, such as vehicles associated
with AMBER alerts or gunshots, public safety agencies can rapidly
dispatch Aerodome drones through automated triggers, directly to
the incident location in mere seconds. This enables police to
enhance their response by giving first responders an eye in the
sky, better protecting all parties from harm.
The Flock Safety platform with Aerodome drone integration
provides a comprehensive, city-wide solution aimed at reducing the
strain on public safety resources and enabling police officers to
cut down response times to an average of 86 seconds.
Scottsdale, Arizona will be the first city to leverage the
strategic partnership.
"With our cutting-edge Real-Time Crime Center, we have seen
immense success in bringing innovative technologies to bear in
addressing emergency situations, routine calls for service,
assisting in complex investigations, and ensuring citizen and
officer safety," said Scottsdale Police Chief Jeff Walther. "By
layering in a drone-as-a-first-responder (DFR) program, we add
another way to empower first responders to protect lives, keep
Scottsdale safe, reduce response times, and drive down
crime.”
In just a year since its founding, Aerodome has nearly doubled
its growth projections through 2024. This partnership with Flock
Safety enables police departments across the country to leverage
their leading, complementary public safety technology
seamlessly.
Flock Safety’s mission is to improve community safety with its
hardware and software solutions. Its technology is currently making
over 5,000 communities safer nationwide.
