Across the U.S., more than 1,500 police departments are using drones to give officers critical visibility in real time.

Because when teams can see more, sooner, they can respond smarter.

Aerial intelligence can help assess scenes before officers arrive, locate missing people faster, document crashes and incidents more effectively, and improve coordination when every second matters.

The mission behind the technology is simple: protect life, improve outcomes, and help public safety teams get home safely.

The future of persistent situational awareness is taking another step forward.

Fotokite is now extending its actively tethered aerial overwatch capabilities to unmanned ground vehicles through our new partnership with .

By integrating Fotokite’s autonomous, persistent aerial perspective with Stridar’s modular UGV platform, teams can gain a powerful new way to extend visibility, sensing, and communications at the tactical edge without adding pilot workload or expanding force structure.

Summer brings bigger crowds, longer days, and faster-moving incidents.

From major event monitoring to incident response, public safety teams need real-time visibility without adding complexity to the operation.

Fotokite gives responders an elevated, continuous view of the scene so command teams can monitor crowd movement, spot hazards, assess fire conditions, and support safer decision-making all without manual piloting.

Aerial awareness shouldn’t require a drone program to get started.

Fotokite is built for public safety teams that need eyes above the scene quickly, without adding pilot burden, complex workflows, or long training cycles.

During hands-on training, teams can go from setup to live aerial overwatch fast giving command staff a safer, clearer view when the situation is still unfolding.

Exploring drones for your public safety agency?

For first responders and agencies exploring drone programs, understanding the value of aerial situational awareness is the first step.

Drones can help teams see more, respond faster, and make better-informed decisions when every second matters.

We broke down how drones are being used across fire, law enforcement, search and rescue, and emergency response operations.

Emergency scenes change fast. Fire conditions shift, suspects move, and weather can create new hazards in minutes. First responders need accurate information right away to make safe and informed decisions. Traditional ground-level visibility often limits what teams can see during an active incident....
