ATLANTA — Aerodome and Flock Safety have announced a partnership that will integrate Aerodome’s Drone as First Responder (DFR) solution with Flock Safety’s crime-solving platform.

With the 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.

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.”
