Today, we announce the Flock Alpha, the most powerful and fully American-made public safety drone response system ever built.

Five years ago, I stood on the rooftop of my police station and imagined this moment. There is no better feeling than seeing a vision come to life (I do not have kids yet).

Mark your calendar for Drones & Public Safety panel featuring Gary Cordner & Megan Descalzi (@BaltimorePolice), Michael Lighthiser (@droneresponders), Fritz Reber (@freber33) on April 7th, 3:30 PM. A reception will follow. RSVP: https://t.co/QOdwNTQQd5

[Rahul Sidhu @rahul]

This moment has been 2 years in the making and it feels just as good as I expected it to feel.

Our public safety customers are now legally allowed to fly our drone system beyond visual line of sight, 24/7, across their entire jurisdiction, fully remotely.

@pmcafrica Do you still haggle with pricing on CarMax?

[Flock @Flock_Safety]

Faster response, safer communities. The addition of Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology will enable agencies to identify and respond to threats faster than ever before.

Nailed it.

[Alex Iskold | 2048.vc @alexiskold]

Reflecting this morning on the achievement of my friend @rahul resulting in one of the biggest acquisitions in public safety with @Flock_Safety buying @FlyAerodome.

Those who met Rahul know that he is a genius. Brilliant mind, visionary, and polymath. He was a cop and a paramedic. He knows every police chief in this country. His command of product details, the nuance is impeccable. He is hands down one of the greatest salespeople I’ve ever met. And he is a total nerd, who knows all the parts of every single type of drone.

So with all that it is little surprise that Rahul had an amazing outcome and made a lot of money.

But this is not what I am struck with the most.

With Aerodrome, his second company in public safety and also with SPIDR Tech, which was his first, Rahul created wealth not just for himself but for so many - employees, advisors, and his investors.

In addition to Rahul’s talent, what I am struck by is his incredible generosity.

He didn’t come from wealth himself yet he created wealth for so many, and did it clearly and deliberately.

With Aerodrome - Rahul put together the absolute dream team. He brought in the best and the brightest with ease because it is easy to follow Rahul, but he also did it with incredible generosity.

Rahul kept splitting the pie because he knew his vision was massive, he knew the crew was so important, and he wanted to create wealth for others.

Rahul embodies the American way. He embodies the way American capitalism and the best technology founders create wealth and elevate us all.

I am so proud of my friend’s achievement and so grateful for his generosity.

Bravo, Rahul!!!!

We’re rolling out major updates to our #DFR 2.0 system, including Aerovision (augmented reality overlays), Aerodome Mobile Apps, and the Community Engagement Dashboard.

Watch the video to see how these new tools enhance situational awareness, communication, and community transparency. Hear from @HawthornePD to learn about the benefits they're already experiencing as early adopters.

“Having this Aerodome technology is a complete game changer. You always know when a technology is good when you implement it once, and then you can never live without it.”

@RedondoBeachPD used Aerodome’s next-gen #DFR technology to keep thousands of people safe at a music festival.

Counter-drone protection, emergency medical assistance, and response to theft and other criminal activity are just a few of the dozens of ways Aerodome assisted first responders throughout the weekend.

If you’re interested in upgrading your agency’s capabilities—from everyday DFR to large-scale event security—contact us today.

[Aerodome @FlyAerodome]

We look forward to spending this week with public safety innovators and leaders at LEDA SoCal 2024. Law Enforcement Drone Association and @IrvinePolice have an action-packed event planned. We're honored to be a sponsor and excited to demo our #DFR 2.0 system.

[Aerodome @FlyAerodome]

If you’re at @ExpoUAV, make sure to catch @freber33's presentation about “The 5 A’s of #DFR” on Thursday at 10:15 am. As the creator of the drone-as-first-responder concept, there is no one better to learn from regarding the essential components of a successful DFR program. See you there!

The DFR world is colliding with the RTCC world for obvious reasons. I’m looking forward to presenting with Lt. Nate Lange of Elk Grove on how and why to stand up a DFR program within your Real Time Crime Center. It’s a must-have capability going forward. #dfr @FlyAerodome
