Flock Safety, a well-known name in public safety technology, has announced the acquisition of Aerodome, a company specializing in Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology. This acquisition represents a major step forward for Flock Safety’s efforts to provide law enforcement with cutting-edge tools to protect communities and reduce crime.
Integrating Drone Technology for Faster Response
DFR technology allows drones to be deployed immediately to critical incidents, giving law enforcement officers faster access to vital information. Drones equipped with cameras can capture footage and provide situational awareness before officers arrive on the scene, improving response times and officer safety. This real-time intelligence enhances the ability to assess situations quickly and accurately, enabling law enforcement to respond more effectively.
Garrett Langley, Founder and CEO of Flock Safety, explained the significance of the acquisition: “Anyone who’s seen a drone-as-first-responder program in action knows that this technology will play a central role in the future of public safety. No other technology helps law enforcement officers get eyes on the scene faster than a drone.”
By incorporating Aerodome’s technology, Flock Safety will expand its existing suite of public safety solutions, which includes tools like license plate recognition (LPR) cameras and gunshot detection sensors. Langley emphasized how this combination would improve their mission to protect communities: “By combining Aerodome’s best-in-class DFR technology with Flock Safety’s existing suite of rapid response solutions, we’re taking a big step forward in our mission to protect communities and eliminate crime.”
