The next generation of first responders may not wear a uniform — they might fly. 🚁

In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch explores how swarm intelligence is taking flight in Public Safety drone operations.

Coordinated drone networks are evolving beyond simple video feeds — they can now assess hazards, deliver medical supplies, and even relay data directly into NG911 systems.

Join us as we explore how “flying data nodes” can transform emergency response, and discuss the challenges that still stand in the way — including FAA regulations, cybersecurity, privacy, liability, and PSAP readiness.

🔍 Key Topics you'll learn in the Episode:

What defines a swarm vs. a single drone deployment

How AI and NG911 infrastructure enable real-time coordination

Real-world examples and pilot programs in the U.S. and abroad

Integrating swarm data into CAD and PSAP operations

"BVLOS" regulatory hurdles and public trust issues

The ethical line between autonomous support and decision-making

💡 Takeaway:

Swarm drones aren’t here to replace dispatchers and supervisors — it's a technology that is here to amplify their capabilities and CREATE NEW ROLES.

Faster data, safer operations, and smarter coordination are the future of emergency response.
