Miami Beach covers seven square miles with 92,000 residents, 28 million annual visitors, and 48 special event weekends a year. With that much ground to cover and that many people passing through, MBPD needed a way to see problems before officers arrived on scene. In this session, Chief Wayne Jones, Lieutenant Raymond Diaz, and Sergeant Anthony Loperfido discuss how MBPD scales DFR through Spring Break and FIFA World Cup events, gets drones on scene ahead of patrol, clears calls without pulling officers from their zones, and shares live video across partner agencies. Hosted by Skydio Public Safety Strategist Devin Ross, the session concludes with live audience Q&A.

As public safety agencies evaluate and expand Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs, choosing between Part 91 and Part 107 has become an important regulatory decision. In this session, Skydio's Director of Aviation Regulatory Affairs, Jakee Stoltz, breaks down the similarities, key differences, and practical considerations to help agencies determine the right path for their operations, today and into the future.

Deploying multi-drone DFR at scale means using distributed drones, hives, autonomy, staffing, and disciplined procedures to maintain coverage, reduce response gaps, and support patrol without overloading operators. In this session, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Lead Pilot, Joseph Russie, discusses how LVMPD's drones arrive first, provide real-time situational awareness, relieve officers during pursuits and containment, clear lower-priority calls without patrol response, and sustain operations across a large, high-volume jurisdiction. Hosted by Noreen Charlton, Public Safety Strategy at Skydio, the session will conclude with live audience Q&A.

Many agencies struggle to finalize DFR policy because they treat it like a traditional drone program and secondary to patrol operations. Minnetonka Police Department approached DFR differently. From the beginning, they viewed DFR as a response capability, not a specialized tool. That meant building structured flight standards, formalized procedures, and clear legal defensibility for every mission. In this session, Deputy Chief Jason Tait and Supervisor Garith Scherck will walk through how they structured, implemented, and operationalized their DFR policy to support daily flight operations under Minnesota state law. Key takeaways: - The structural difference between a specialized drone program and a fully operational response model - What operational discipline looks like in a program that flies every day - How to design reporting structures that ensure accountability and withstand public scrutiny - The early decisions Minnetonka made that allowed them to scale with confidence This webinar examines a working system used daily by an active DFR program. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for aligning policy, procedure, and documentation so DFR programs scale responsibly, transparently, and defensibly. Hosted by Noreen Charlton, Public Safety Strategy at Skydio, the session will conclude with live audience Q&A.

In this webinar, Jakee and Sujoy shared that multi-drone operations are now live and rolling out to agencies, enabling one pilot to operate up to four drones and fundamentally changing how DFR programs scale. The focus wasn’t just the feature, but the impact: reducing pilot staffing needs, lowering program costs, and increasing flexibility to handle overlapping or simultaneous incidents. They walked through how it works in Remote Flight Deck, how autonomy and deconfliction make it manageable, and the real-world ways agencies are using it today, from transitioning between calls to maintaining continuous coverage. They also covered the FAA path, which requires a new but familiar agency-level waiver, supported by documentation to streamline approval.

The first public demonstration of multi-site autonomous drone security. Now available on demand. Site security leaders are under pressure. Guards can't be everywhere. Cameras miss too much. And 94% of alarms are false. The issue isn't identifying the gaps. It's closing them at scale, without adding headcount. This recording shows what one operator remotely managing four drones across two states actually looks like. One operator. Four autonomous drones patrolling simultaneously in California and Colorado, from a single Skydio cloud window. Autonomous response in less than 20 seconds. Workflow: IDS alert triggers at any site → docked drone launches in under 20 seconds → flies to alert location → 4K live video streams to remote operator → operator verifies and responds → alert cleared. Patrols at every other site continue uninterrupted. What you'll see 1. Multi-site command from a single window. One operator, four drones, two states. See what centralized remote security operations actually look like. 2. Alarm response in under 20 seconds. A drone is airborne before a guard reaches the door. 3. Persistent patrol without added headcount. Scheduled routes run continuously, day and night, without shift variance or coverage gaps. 4. False alarm verification at scale. Remote visual confirmation keeps your team focused on real threats across every site, simultaneously. 5.Cost per site. Cost per patrol. Cost per operator. Understand what one operator covering multiple sites means for labor, response consistency, and cost per covered acre.

Watch Corey Hitchcock open a web browser from Skydio's DTECH booth in San Diego, CA and fly a live inspection mission over real utility assets in Tampa, FL, 2,090 miles away. No travel. No truck. No one on site. From Skydio Remote Ops, Corey navigates to a substation, patrols an active distribution circuit, zooms to individual conductors on energized equipment, and switches between visual and thermal, all in real time. The drone returns to dock autonomously when the battery margin triggers the return sequence. Real assets. Real time. From anywhere.

Aging infrastructure. Tightening reliability targets. Mountains of inspection data scattered across departments, systems, and regions. The data exists. The problem is getting it to the people who need it, when they need it. In this panel, leaders from Southern California Edison, Exelon/BGE, and Nova Scotia Power joined Skydio to discuss what it actually takes to connect data across functions, turn it into operational decisions, and what gets in the way. The conversation covers: - Why siloed inspection, vegetation, and reliability data leads to reactive maintenance and missed risk - How drone programs fail to scale when strategy and governance lag behind technology - What cross-functional alignment looks like in practice — and who needs to be in the room - How standardized capture and audit-ready records build the trust needed to act on new data sources Featuring perspectives from asset management, grid strategy, and UAS operations, this session is built for utility leaders who are past the pilot phase and ready to operationalize.
