Free Webinar – Skydio Autonomous Drones: Giving Officers a New Set of Eyes for Active Scenes

Drones have become valuable tools for giving police officers airborne eyes on active scenes, such as responding to emergencies, conducting search and rescue missions, and for collecting evidence from privileged vantage points. However, traditional manual drones require heavy training and impose a high cognitive load on officers that should be focused on the mission. Join our webinar to learn why Skydio autonomous drones represent the next step in the evolution of UAS for public safety applications. By leveraging this next generation of aerial intelligence, public safety agencies can improve the teams’ operations, increase safety for their personnel and move drones from valuable to indispensable force multipliers.

The webinar will feature Fritz Reber, a former Captain of the Chula Vista Police Department, where he served as UAS Commander and developed the agency’s internationally recognized Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) program in partnership with the FAA’s San Diego Drone Integration Pilot Program (IPP). The webinar will be hosted by Alex Netto, Product Marketing Manager at Skydio.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

<>Skydio’s background serving first responders
<>How Autonomy revolutionizes public safety operations
<>Skydio solutions and their practical applications

When: Wednesday, February 24, 2021
