Drone as First Responder – here's how it works:

Pre-position drones, ready to quickly respond to any incident. Get on scene in seconds, rapidly find and track subjects and vehicles, stream live video to determine the best tactical response. Overwatch provides real-time situational awareness to all responders, keeping your officers and community safe.
