Case Study: Miami Beach Police Department enhances community safety with Skydio Drone as First Responder

Miami Beach Police Department strengthens public safety across 7 square miles with Skydio

The Miami Beach Police Department faced the challenge of ensuring public safety in a dense, seven-square-mile city that swells from 93,000 residents to several hundred thousand people during its 48 special event weekends each year. They needed a force multiplier to augment patrol officers and provide better actionable intelligence, leading them to partner with vendor Skydio and implement a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program using the Skydio X10 drone.

Skydio provided a responsive partnership and integrated technology solutions, including the Remote Flight Deck and Skydio Dock for the X10. The solution enhanced tactical operations by delivering real-time aerial intelligence, acting as a force multiplier for officers on the ground. The department reported that Skydio’s customer support was highly critical to their success, allowing for immediate problem-solving and meeting their very high demands.
