Why Public Safety Agencies Should Use Purpose-Built Drones

In public safety, the tools you use matter. Firefighters don’t respond in pickup trucks. Law enforcement officers don’t wear hiking boots.  Every piece of gear is carefully selected to meet the demands of the job. So why should your drone be any different?

Yet today, many public safety agencies are flying retrofitted hobbyist drones, tools never designed for the unique challenges of emergency response.

But that’s changing.

At BRINC, we build drones specifically for public safety with input from public safety agents–no compromises, no workarounds, no retrofitting. Here’s what that means for your agency.

Critical Communication for Critical Moments

Every BRINC drone is equipped with an integrated loudspeaker that delivers up to 98 dB of sound. That’s loud enough to be heard from up to 150 feet away outdoors and to reach multiple rooms indoors, even through closed doors. Combine that with a built-in microphone that can be utilized when the drone is perched, and your team has true two-way communication that provides critical information, enhancing de-escalation and peaceful resolutions when force was previously the only option.

With other drones, you’re forced to choose between attachments. But BRINC drones are built differently. There’s no need to decide between accessories like a loudspeaker or a spotlight, because in critical emergencies, both can be essential.

Visibly Identified as Public Safety

BRINC drones feature red and blue strobes, a siren, and customizable markings that clearly identify them as law enforcement or emergency response tools. In tense situations, visibility builds trust and can reduce confusion or panic.

BVLOS-Ready With Safety Systems in Place

If your agency has or is planning to have a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, flying Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) is essential. All BRINC outdoor drones come equipped with ASTM-certified parachute recovery systems to comply with FAA requirements for flight over people and moving vehicles. 

Beyond hardware, we pull other critical information into LiveOps–like weather, ADS-B, radar (if needed), airspace advisories, geofences, and more–for a single pane of glass approach to airspace awareness and BVLOS preparedness. Access to this information mitigates risk, keeping DFR operations safe.

Payload Delivery That Saves Lives

From AEDs to Narcan, EpiPens to personal flotation devices (PFDs), BRINC drones are built to carry and deploy lifesaving payloads. For those agencies with a DFR program, payloads can be pre-set in launch locations so you can be prepared for whatever is your most common payload deployment incident. 

Built for the Job. Not Modified to Fit.

Everything about a BRINC drone, from frame to firmware, is engineered for the reality of public safety operations with input from end users. And make no mistake, these aren’t just gadgets—they’re de-escalation tools, communication platforms, and emergency responders in their own right.

Using drones built for the job helps agencies protect their teams, support their communities, and operate with greater precision and confidence.

It’s time for public safety agencies to use the right tool for the mission.
