Skydio Experience Day - Lewisville, TX

Drone as First Responder (DFR) isn’t the future — it’s already happening. Agencies across the country are flying drones to real calls for service (CFS) and getting eyes on scene before the first unit arrives.

Skydio Experience Day is your chance to see how they’re doing it — and fly a drone yourself.This hands-on event is built for public safety leaders who want to understand how DFR programs reshape emergency response. You’ll see how departments fly drones remotely to 911 calls, and understand what it takes to bring this capability to your operations.

Why bring DFR to your operations:

1. Respond to 911 calls in under two minutes
2. Get a live view of the scene before officers arrive
3. Reduce risk in high-stakes or unknown situations
4. Cover more ground without increasing headcount

What to expect at the event:

1. Fly live DFR missions using the Skydio Dock and DFR Command — showing how drones are launched remotely to real calls
2. Get hands-on flight time with the Skydio X10 — no drone experience required
3. Hear how other agencies are building their DFR programs and flying to real calls today
4. Get guidance from our experts on building or expanding your drone program, including funding, staffing, and FAA regulations

“We recognized that in many situations, having drones on the scene as fast as possible is a game changer. Whether it’s an officer-involved shooting or a barricaded suspect, drones provide real-time intelligence that keeps both our officers and the community safer.” — Captain Jason Bussert, Oklahoma City Police Department

Whether you're considering a DFR program or want to take your current drone ops further, this event will give you the practical knowledge and firsthand experience to move forward with confidence.
