With over 240 million 911 calls made each year, a faster response time to a call can make a consequential difference. Drone as a First Responder programs allow 911 call handlers to immediately dispatch drones in response to emergency calls, streaming video of the scene back to the command center and to officers in the field so that they arrive better prepared. Drones purpose-built for public safety can even deliver various payloads, including medication, defibrillators and other devices.
In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, part of a special report from Motorola Solutions Summit 2025, host Jim Dudley sits down with Billy Gessner, Technical Manager for the Real-Time Operations Center at the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and Alan Melvin (ret.) North Carolina State Highway Patrol and Industry Team for Motorola Solutions, to learn about the benefits of drone as first responders and advice on implementing the technology.
