Drone as a First Responder Service (DFRS) Success Stories

DFRS Tracks Fleeing Suspect, Assisting Patrol with Apprehension

The Drone as a First Responder Service (DFRS) responded to a family trouble incident ahead of arriving patrol units, providing an early aerial perspective of the scene. 

As the incident developed, a suspect attempted to leave the location to evade responding deputies. DFRS maintained aerial observation of the suspect vehicle as it departed, providing responding patrol units with real-time location updates.

With continued aerial support and coordinated communication, patrol units were able to locate and take the suspect into custody. 

The result: DFRS provided an early response, maintained awareness of the suspect's movements, and helped responding deputies safely bring the incident to a successful conclusion.
