Aerodome’s Post

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!
