In the United States and across the globe, to aid in a wide range of emergencies and incidents, public safety professionals increasingly deploy drones in the air, on the ground and underwater. These drone responders' numbers continue to expand as more entities adopt drones for use in public safety operations.

Led by the DRONERESPONDERS non-profit organization, a key partner of the Commercial UAV Expo, participants experienced and discussed the latest technologies and trends in this critical sector. Read on to surveil (pun intended) the top 5 key takeaways from the event.
