Drones for Law Enforcement, Fire & Search and Rescue
Deploy eyes-in-the-sky in 90 seconds. Modern public safety drones give first responders real-time situational awareness, thermal imaging, and extended range — saving lives when every second counts.
Core Public Safety Applications
Proven operational uses across law enforcement, fire, and EMS.
Search & Rescue
Thermal cameras detect body heat in darkness, dense foliage, and water at distances up to 1 km. Cover a square mile in under 30 minutes.
Fire Scene Intelligence
Map fire perimeters, spot hot spots through smoke, and monitor structure integrity — keeping ground crews safer.
Law Enforcement Surveillance
Provide aerial overwatch for SWAT operations, crowd monitoring, and fugitive searches without helicopters.
First-Responder Dispatch
Program-and-fly autonomous pre-planned routes to arrive at incidents before ground units.
Wilderness & Water Rescue
Locate missing persons in challenging terrain; drop flotation devices or supply payloads via release mechanism.
Comms Relay
Extend radio range in large-scale disaster response with onboard repeater payloads.

Talk to Us →Frequently Asked Questions
Are public safety drones subject to FAA restrictions?
Public safety agencies can fly under a COA (Certificate of Authorization) or the Part 107 framework. Many agencies also operate under the FAA's BEYOND program for BVLOS and night operations. Our team can connect you with compliance resources and authorized training programs.
What thermal camera do you recommend for SAR?
The DJI Matrice 4T and Matrice 30T both carry dual-sensor payloads with 640×512 uncooled thermal sensors and powerful zoom cameras — the combination is ideal for SAR. For maximum range, pair with the Zenmuse H30T on the Matrice 350 RTK.
Do you offer government / agency pricing?
Yes — we offer agency purchase orders, cooperative purchasing agreements (GSA/NASPO), and volume pricing for fleet deployments. Contact our public safety team for a custom quote.
Can drones be used for crowd monitoring at events?
Yes, with appropriate permits and in compliance with local regulations. Drones equipped with wide-angle and zoom cameras provide effective aerial situational awareness for large events, protests, or gatherings.
What training do you recommend for first responders?
We recommend DJI's FlightHub 2 platform for fleet management plus FAA Part 107 certification for all pilots. We can connect agencies with accredited public safety UAS training providers.
Do you offer ground robots for public safety?
Yes. We carry Unitree ground robots including the Go2 Ent for reconnaissance and hazmat assessment and the B2 Fire & Rescue series for hazardous-environment response. Unitree is a Chinese manufacturer, so agencies with procurement restrictions on Chinese-made hardware should verify their policies first — we can help you scope the right platform either way.
