When seconds matter, it’s critical to fly with confidence, on patrol or remotely — day or night. Our training is designed to instill that confidence. We offer both online and live training as part of our Success Services. And, we have a partner who delivers Part 107 certification training.

We have accomplished a lot together in our first five years, but we are just getting started. Will you support the Council as we build bridges across ideological divides and craft consensus for solutions?

NIBRS

Deploy drones from strategically located Skydio Docks and get on the scene fast. Using our DFR Command software your operator can pilot remotely from a browser and live stream live stream, providing a ReadyLink so both command and patrol have quick access to full situational awareness. Integrate with your 911 system and third party apps (automated license plate readers – ALPRs – for example) and you can also fly missions automatically and fully autonomously.

Working Group chair Rick Rosenfeld, Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri St-Louis, described significant opportunities to improve the Crime Data Explorer, the FBI’s current public interface for its crime data. Working Group members discussed how researchers, policymakers, and the public have different crime data interests and need to be able to access NIBRS data in different ways. Rosenfeld also emphasized the need to make NIBRS data more timely.

Examining data for the nation’s three largest cities through fall of 2024, this report finds that shoplifting levels remain higher than pre-pandemic rates. It also highlights two conflicting sources of federal data on the crime.

Free responding officers to focus on activity on the ground with a remote pilot using Skydio DFR Command to control the drones on the scene.

Activate drones automatically when you get 911 calls. Integrate with 3rd-party applications (like ShotSpotter) for even quicker response. Faster intelligence informs better tactical decisions.

Get an aerial view every time you need it with autonomous drones anyone can fly. Simple, comprehensive training for your entire organization that covers every drone in your program.

This report looks at the prevalence and concentration of shoplifting in two major cities—Los Angeles and Chicago—before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Military veterans have more than twice the risk of suicide death as non-veterans. This brief examines a federal program designed to identify veterans with the highest suicide risk in order to provide enhanced outreach and support. It finds that the prediction model had low accuracy for identifying veterans who died by suicide.

Partner with a team who knows what you’re up against every day. Our team members have worn the badge, and have years of experience on the frontlines with the NYPD, Las Vegas Metropolitan PD and Illinois State Police. You’ll also work closely with trailblazing agencies, first to build their own DFR programs.

When someone is in distress or needs assistance, our drones are first responders. They can get out there with our cops and give us an eye in the sky of that perfect perspective.

Gain an aerial view of any situation as it evolves, with overwatch on every call. Make better, more informed decisions in real-time.

Clear scenes faster without compromising critical data. Skydio AI and autonomy brings you 3D Scan and Map Capture to create photogrammetry models and orthomosaics in a fraction of the time of traditional photos or LiDAR.

Public safety is built on trust between the community and those that are sworn to keep it safe. Skydio drone programs are designed to provide officers with the visibility needed to deescalate situations and the transparency to align with your community’s expectations with a transparency dashboard available in DFR Command.

In June, the Crime Trends Working Group convened in Washington, D.C., for an all-day discussion on the Justice Department’s infrastructure for reporting, accessing, and using nationwide crime trend data. The conversation featured a series of presentations on obstacles to implementing the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), which replaced the nation’s nearly century-old Uniform Crime Reporting Program’s Summary Reporting System in 2021.

The Council advances understanding of the criminal justice policy choices facing the nation and builds consensus for solutions that enhance safety and justice for all.

Get to the scene even faster. Speed drones to incidents ahead of your officers by keeping them docked in strategic locations. Live stream the scene to responding officers while drones provide situational awareness.

By getting to the scene ahead of first responders, drones act as their eyes and ears — giving them real-time situational awareness for better tactical decisions. Drones can also be piloted by a remote operator using DFR Command, allowing those on scene to focus on what’s happening in front of them.

Get real-time frontline visibility — anytime, anywhere, with DFR. Imagine if every patrol car had a smart drone in the trunk. Every city had drones docked in strategic locations. And every command center had operators ready to fly drones remotely2 — an advantage only offered by Skydio DFR Command.

Avoid country-of-origin concerns with an aerial solution designed, assembled, and supported all right here in the USA, and is fully NDAA compliant.

Skydio law enforcement drones are pre-integrated with Axon applications. Just enter your API key in your Skydio account to connect and flow data into Axon Air, Axon Respond, Axon Evidence, and Fusus by Axon. Learn more about how Skydio and Axon integrations.

The group was welcomed by Amy Solomon, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice Programs, who encouraged the group to offer its best thinking about how to make crime reporting more timely, accurate, and complete. The group then heard from justice data expert Paul Wormeli and working group member Janet Lauritsen, Professor Emerita at University of Missouri-St. Louis. The two summarized the history of crime data reporting in the U.S. and outlined recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Panel on Modernizing the Nation’s Crime Statistics that issued reports on this subject in 2016 and 2018.

Crime data

With a DFR program, drones can deploy from vehicles or roof-top docks and reach any scene at speeds up to 45mph — empowering the frontlines with a clear picture of what’s happening on the ground.

X10 — the speed to get it up in the air, the distance it can go, the thermal and the lights — these are all crime-fighting tools.

Gain situational awareness over fast moving blazes. Gather aerial intelligence, coordinate emergency response, and keep your crews safer.

No matter what neighborhood you live in, no matter what area, if there is a violent crime, if there is a major incident threatening our community members, we have this capability to be able to respond quickly, deploy these types of assets, and help enhance the safety in that area.

Representatives of small and large law enforcement departments and state criminal justice agencies provided a comprehensive overview of the transition to NIBRS from their perspectives. They described obstacles that continue to challenge many states and local law enforcement agencies and identified practices that are helping accelerate the transition. Among the points made and discussed were the following:

Members also heard from the group’s federal liaisons, Alex Piquero, Director of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and Deputy Assistant Director Brian Griffith, of the Law Enforcement and Technology Services Branch of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division. The two liaisons discussed the significant investments that have been made over the past two years to enhance data capacities, including several dozen new employees at BJS. Piquero and Griffith discussed efforts to accelerate NIBRS reporting and crime data publication, the need for standards, and the need to build robust partnerships with researchers and states in order to enhance the value of NIBRS.

Ready to fly day or night. In rain or shine. And when equipped with Skydio’s NightSense technology, the X10 will be able to fly autonomously and see in zero light environments. Which means Skydio DFR can help fight crime and save lives 24/7.
