Real-Time Policing: When Moments Matter

Rahul Sidhu, VP of Aviation at Flock, joins hosts Jamie Hudson and Dalton Webb for a special episode of the Flock Safety podcast to talk all things Drone as First Responder (DFR)—from building Aerodome to joining Flock. 

As a former full-time police officer and current reserve officer, Rahul brings his deep public safety experience into tech to help shape the future of DFR and other drone deployments for public safety. 

In this episode, he shares:
 • The origin story behind Aerodome and how it merged with Flock
 • Why video games like Overwatch inspired the drone UX
 • How flying at 400 ft isn’t just better—it’s a physics advantage
 • The reality behind the DFR 1.0 vs. 2.0 vs. 3.0 evolution
 • Why autonomous, multi-drone operations are the future of policing
 • Cost-saving strategies and real ROI for agencies
 • What agencies need to commit to if they want to launch a successful drone program

This is a deep dive into innovation, logistics, and leadership in public safety tech, and it’s one of the most insightful episodes yet. Don’t miss it!
