ADVICE

Place Drones On Fire Stations For Coverage

  • Design drone programs to colocate units on existing public infrastructure like fire stations for power and coverage.
  • Use remote operators controlling multiple drones to cover large counties affordably and safely.
INSIGHT

Per‑Citizen Cost Frames Public Safety ROI

  • Cities justify Flock deployments by per‑citizen cost; one city spends ~$22 per person per year for Flock coverage.
  • That cost is positioned as affordable given the crime reduction and clearance improvements.
ANECDOTE

Designers Ride With Cops To Build Real Products

  • Flock made product designers do police ride-alongs to see real-world constraints like Panasonic Toughbooks.
  • Direct field exposure forced product changes for low-res screens and distracted users.
