Case Study: Albuquerque Police Department achieves faster, safer responses with Skydio DFR and Dock

Albuquerque Police Department deploys Skydio Docks in 90 seconds, completing 200 flights in a month

The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) faced significant challenges due to rising crime rates and officer shortages, which strained its resources across a large metropolitan area. To address this, APD partnered with Skydio to implement a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, utilizing Skydio drones and the Skydio Dock for X10.

Skydio's solution enabled the deployment of autonomous drones from rooftop docks across the city, providing officers with real-time aerial intelligence in 90 seconds or less. This technology served as a force multiplier, allowing for safer and faster responses. The results were significant; in just one month, the program completed over 200 flights and directly assisted in four arrests, proving Skydio's DFR program effectively closes the gap between limited resources and urgent public safety needs.
