10 Million Calls: The Drone System Changing Policing

Skydio’s Drone‑as‑First‑Responder (DFR) Command platform has processed over 10 million service calls, demonstrating that autonomous drones are now embedded in U.S. public‑safety workflows. The system pulls live 911, CAD, and sensor data directly into its Flight Deck, allowing operators to dispatch a drone in under sixty seconds—often before the incident is fully logged. Integration with more than 25 dispatch, NG911, gun‑shot detection, and body‑camera platforms creates a seamless, automated response loop. After flight, video automatically uploads to evidence‑management systems, preserving chain‑of‑custody compliance.
