Drones on scene before boots on the ground.
We help police departments and public safety agencies design, authorize, and operate Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) programs that save time, reduce risk to officers, and improve outcomes.
The Challenge
Drone-as-First-Responder programs can get units on scene in under 90 seconds — but standing one up requires navigating FAA waivers, procurement, community policy, data privacy concerns, and officer training simultaneously. Most departments don't have the internal expertise to do this without expensive missteps.
How We Help
Altimetis walks you from program concept to operational launch. We develop your operational concept, select the right platform for your coverage area, draft and submit FAA waiver applications, help you build community-facing policy, and design the operational playbook your dispatchers and pilots will actually use.
