DFR: How Public Safety Can Leverage Drones for Any Type of Incident

In public safety, every second counts. Not just a paramedic unit arriving on the scene for a heart attack or for COVID. How about law enforcement showing up on scene to a fight to find 20 people in a clash? Would it be beneficial for the fire department, to respond to an alarm for a big box store, to have size up before arriving, so additional alarms could be called before arriving on the scene?

The Drone as a First Responder program also known as DFR is starting to make its way across the United States. Chula Vista Police Department in Southern California was the first to start their program in 2018 to take advantage of having an eye in the sky, so emergency responders can have situation awareness before arriving on scene.

Attendees will walk away with the following learning objectives:

•  Discuss the number of calls answered using the Drone as a First Responder program
•  Discuss case studies on how these drones are being used and who used them
•  Discuss how other departments can take advantage of the technology Certificate of Completion All attendees will receive a certificate of completion.
