Last week, the Dallas Police Department launched its new Drone as First Responder program with eight remotely piloted drones based at Dallas Fire-Rescue stations across the city. Operated out of the DPD's Fusion/Real Time Crime Center, the Skydio X10 drones from San Mateo, California-based Skydio are designed to respond to calls for service in a two-mile radius from their base stations.
A $1.5 million grant will help Dallas Fire-Rescue and Dallas Police Department improve the way they respond to calls with behavioral health emergencies.
