FAA policy for public safety is shifting fast—and it just got a lot easier to start or scale your Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. The FAA has created a new waiver process for public safety operations - offering a streamlined path to obtaining a Part 91 BVLOS Certificate of Waiver (COW). The process cuts approval times in half, offers a path to fly above UAS Facility Map altitudes, and doesn’t even require a CAPS application! Join regulatory expert Jakee Stoltz as he breaks down exactly how the new process works and what it means for your agency. Whether you’re launching a new program or expanding advanced operations, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to navigate the latest FAA process updates. Don’t miss it.

In this webinar, public safety experts explored how Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs are transforming law enforcement operations by reducing response times, enhancing situational awareness, and improving resource allocation. Real-world examples from agencies like NYPD, Las Vegas Metro PD, and OKCPD showcase how drones arrive first on scene, providing officers with critical, live-streamed aerial views before they step out of their vehicles. Speakers also covered the financial impact of DFR, including cost savings on dispatches and air support, as well as key steps for launching or expanding a program. The session concluded with an engaging live demo, demonstrating DFR technology in action.

Managing security over large areas with limited resources is a challenge. With over 750 U.S. military bases spanning 80 countries and 27 million acres, responding quickly to threats is crucial. Imagine receiving a security alert from a base far away, and instead of mobilizing personnel, you deploy a drone from your desk.
