Amarillo PD plans to install docks across all police and fire departments

Synopsis

Lieutenant Shane Chadwick outlines Amarillo Police Department’s vision for their expanding Drone as First Responder (DFR) Program, emphasizing how aerial support improves situational awareness by giving officers a top-down, third-dimensional view of any scene.

From minor disturbances to active crime scenes and even assisting firefighters, the newly added drones will serve as critical tools across a wide range of incidents. Looking ahead, APD plans to install docked drones at every police department and fire station across the city.
