“Everyone agrees it won’t be long before this new technology becomes a regular part of first response.” San Francisco Mayor London Breed and San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Chief Scott showcased their new drone program this week, where Drone as First Responder (DFR) will play a vital role in helping to build a safer Bay Area region. Drones can be deployed in the field or remotely to help lead to better outcomes like safer arrests, and have contributed to a 34% drop in crime locally. They also invited San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and new San Jose Police Department Chief Paul Joseph to participate in the demo. San Jose is excited to explore implementing DFR the way San Francisco has.

With winds reaching >180 mph, storm surges, and intense rainfall throughout Florida, Hurricane Milton spawned devastating tornadoes, washed out bridges, and damaged waterways. All of this destruction contributed to massive flooding across the state, even in areas untouched by flooding in 50 years. After the storm hit, Skydio volunteers helped to map the large-scale flooding for first responders. Drones were also used to monitor structural damage and provide overwatch for ongoing search and rescue missions. Honored for the chance to stand beside these brave responders, our volunteers accumulated 30+ hours of flight time in over 170 individual flights in the five days immediately following the storm.

First responders need accurate information at their fingertips to make critical life-saving choices, so Skydio and Axon are leveling up our tools to close the gap in vital real-time collaboration and decision-making. Together, we’re ensuring the integration of the X10 high-quality video footage and telemetry into the Axon Fusus platform is seamless, through a pre-built integration with Skydio DFR Command. By incorporating live Skydio drone footage with the real-time crime center data from Axon Fusus, stakeholders are equipped with the comprehensive situational awareness crucial to deciding their next move. This is just the beginning. Learn more about what we showcased at #IACP2024: https://lnkd.in/gsh3rn8X

As Hurricane Milton reached landfall in Florida, the forceful winds tore the fabric right off the roof of Tropicana Field, home of Major League Baseball (MLB)'s Tampa Bay Rays. In an effort to minimize risk to responding personnel, a team of volunteers from Skydio conducted a 3D scan and map capture with an X10 from a safe distance outside the stadium. See how the Trop looks inside post-storm from sped-up footage below and read more about the dedicated work of first responders in the days after the hurricanes. https://lnkd.in/gzF9zEAG
