Irving Police Department’s Drone First Responder Program

  Go Back


The Irving Police Department is taking public safety to new heights with its innovative Drone First Responder (DFR) program.

For high-priority calls, officers can deploy drones that arrive on scene quickly, providing a live view and real-time intelligence — often before officers are physically present.


With three drone docking stations currently located on rooftops across the city — and plans to expand —t he DFR program is helping to improve response times, enhance situational awareness and increase safety for both officers and the community.
