Please join Fremont Police Department (FPD) and Fremont Fire Department (FFD) in a community meeting to discuss our Drone First Responders (DFR) Program.
Date/Time: Saturday, July 29, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Location: Large Fire Training Classroom – 3300 Capitol Avenue
FPD and FFD completed a pilot phase for the DFR Program from December 21, 2022 – January 20, 2023. Results from the pilot program suggest DFR is a valuable tool in providing first responders with real-time information to assist with decision-making, tactics, tools, and resources to mitigate a problem safely. The DFR program assists first responders in being proactive when responding to emergencies instead of waiting until firefighters or officers arrives on the scene to deploy a UAV. DFR further provides aerial support for public safety incidents, decreases response times, and increases community safety.
Please join our community meeting as we share the results of the DFR pilot phase and present the proposal to establish DFR as a permanent program. To learn more about DFR, please visit: https://fremontpolice.gov/DFR
