Aerodome

Today, in one of the largest tech acquisitions in public safety history, Aerodome has officially joined forces with Flock Safety. In less than 18 months, Aerodome has built the most advanced drone-as-first-responder system in the country. More importantly, we have deployed it in numerous cities nationwide where it has quantifiably saved lives, reduced crime, and lowered response times. When we first partnered with Flock Safety earlier this year, it quickly became clear that the connection between the two companies was stronger than anything I had ever experienced. In recent months, customers who deployed Aerodome and Flock Safety have massively increased their apprehension of stolen vehicles. Just last week, one of our agencies caught two separate stolen vehicles in different parts of the city with just a single drone flight. Combining Flock’s license plate reading cameras and gunshot detection systems with Aerodome’s rapid response drone capabilities is an unmatched crime-stopping and life-saving combination. I am so proud of what this team has done in such a short time, but I am even more excited about what we will do now that we are a part of Flock Safety. When Garrett Langley talked to me about joining forces, we both joked about how in our industry, companies always buy other companies just to let them wither on the vine and die. He said something to me that immediately got me excited about working with him. “Rahul, I want us to go ten times faster.” It’s easy to believe him when Flock has built and launched more products this decade in the public safety space than anyone else. With Flock’s immense resources and expertise, we are increasing our product-building capacity more than tenfold. In fact, we are committed to hiring over one hundred new engineers for our aviation technology team, a team that will continue to advance the American drone industry and build the next generation of public safety air support. If you’ll be in Boston for IACP this week, come to the Flock booth to see a sneak peek at our upcoming, fully NDAA-compliant DFR drone fleet. You can even fly it yourself!

Today, we are excited to announce that Aerodome has officially joined forces with Flock Safety. This acquisition unites two of the fastest-growing companies in the public safety industry, creating the best possible outcomes for our shared customers. Together, we are investing more than ever in building the future of air support for public safety agencies nationwide. Join us at IACP to experience a demo of our new, fully integrated DFR platform and see how our shared vision is coming to life. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g8CDxMTM

“Having this Aerodome technology is a complete game changer. You always know when a technology is good when you implement it once, and then you can never live without it.” Redondo Beach Police Department used Aerodome’s next-gen #DFR technology to keep thousands of people safe at a music festival. Counter-drone protection, emergency medical assistance, and response to theft and other criminal activity are just a few of the dozens of ways Aerodome assisted first responders throughout the weekend. If you’re interested in upgrading your agency’s capabilities—from everyday DFR to large-scale event security—contact us today.
