What if your agency could secure FAA approvals to operate BVLOS at both 200’ and 400’—and use each altitude strategically depending on the mission?

That’s exactly what Cincinnati PD is doing.

Join Episode 5 of our FAA Waiver Webinar Series as we spotlight how Cincinnati PD secured BVLOS approvals at two altitudes and what it means for public safety drone programs going forward. You’ll hear from regulatory expert Jakee Stoltz, Officers Ben Miller and Jay Kemme from Cincinnati PD, and Travis Scott from Dedrone by Axon as they discuss the waiver process, key differences between 200’ and 400’, and why both might belong in your DFR playbook.

We’ll also cover how Dedrone by Axon’s detect-and-avoid technology helped unlock 400’ approvals—and how agencies can follow the same path.

What You’ll Learn:

Updates on the new FAA Part 91 waiver process for public safety operations

Why agencies pursue both 200’ and 400’ BVLOS approvals—and how to secure each

Where higher-altitude operations make sense—and the tech needed to enable them

Get direct answers to your most pressing FAA questions.

Whether you’re conducting patrol-led missions or Drone as First Responder, this session will give you a practical roadmap to navigate FAA approvals with confidence.
