Inside the DFR program at the Huntington Beach Police Department

Synopsis

The Huntington Beach Police Department is transforming emergency response with the first phase of their Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. Already achieving response times under two minutes, the program is helping officers solve crimes faster and keep the community safer. Hear from Police Chief Eric Parra on why this approach is unlike anything else in the country—and what’s next as the program expands.

"We're going to solve crime quicker."  "Our response times should be 2 minutes by the time we get done with this program. You're not going to have that anywhere in the country." - Huntington Beach Police Chief, Eric Parra
