Flagler County Sheriff’s Office resolves stolen vehicle calls in 2 minutes 49 seconds with Skydio

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office faced the challenge of placing its officers in high-risk situations daily, particularly during traffic stops and responses to stolen vehicle calls. To help mitigate this risk, the agency turned to Skydio and its autonomous drone technology for a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program.

Skydio implemented a patrol-led DFR solution using its AI-powered drones. This allowed the agency to use a drone to safely clear a recovered stolen vehicle, keeping officers out of immediate danger. The solution was vital to the success of their response, significantly enhancing officer safety during these critical operations. Skydio provided the technology that made this possible.
