30. April 2026

As the world of public safety continues to evolve, drones are becoming increasingly important tools for emergency responders. On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, the next installment of the Public Safety Drone Review will take place, bringing together experts and professionals in the field for a live discussion on current news, operational insights, and new technology.
This month’s session will feature Blake Resnick, founder and CEO of BRINC Drones, who will share his vision for the company’s latest innovation: the Guardian drone. As part of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs, the Guardian is designed to support rapid response to emergency calls, with a range of capabilities that set it apart from existing systems.
Established in 2018, BRINC Drones has been at the forefront of developing purpose-built tools for public safety. With a focus on systems designed for emergency response, de-escalation, and indoor operations, the company has worked closely with law enforcement agencies to develop technology aligned with real-world mission needs. Under Resnick’s leadership, BRINC Drones has become synonymous with innovative solutions that prioritize reliability, connectivity, and rapid deployment.
The Guardian drone is a testament to this commitment. With a flight endurance of over 60 minutes, a speed of 60 mph, and Starlink on board, it represents a significant step forward in the capabilities of police drones. This new platform has been designed to support agencies in responding quickly and effectively to emergency calls, whether they be violent crimes, natural disasters, or search and rescue operations.
The Public Safety Drone Review series, hosted by Charles Werner, Mike O’Shea, and DRONELIFE Editor Miriam McNabb, provides a monthly forum for sharing knowledge across the public safety community. Topics range from program management and policy to new technologies and real-world deployments, offering practical insight into how agencies are using drones today and how those operations may evolve.
In recent years, drone programs have expanded rapidly, with many agencies integrating these tools into their existing workflows. However, as the technology continues to advance, it is essential that public safety professionals stay informed about the latest developments and best practices.
The May session of the Public Safety Drone Review will address this need head-on, with Resnick sharing his insights on how new drone platforms like the Guardian fit into evolving public safety workflows. The discussion will explore topics such as integration with dispatch systems and real-time operational environments, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively deploy drones in high-pressure situations.
One key area of focus for the Guardian is its use in indoor operations. With the increasing prevalence of indoor emergencies, such as domestic disputes or building collapses, agencies need tools that can navigate complex spaces efficiently. The Guardian’s advanced sensors and navigation system enable it to map and track targets with unprecedented accuracy, reducing the risk of accidents and improving response times.
Another critical aspect of the Guardian is its Starlink connectivity, which allows for seamless communication between the drone and ground teams. This feature is particularly important in situations where clear communication is vital, such as during high-risk arrests or search and rescue operations.
The Public Safety Drone Review series has attracted a significant following among public safety professionals, with many agencies using this platform to stay informed about the latest developments in drone technology. The May session promises to be just as engaging, with Resnick sharing his vision for how drones like the Guardian can support DFR programs in the years to come.
By bringing together experts and professionals from across the public safety community, the Public Safety Drone Review provides a unique opportunity for knowledge-sharing and collaboration. This month’s session is no exception, offering attendees a chance to engage with Resnick and learn more about the Guardian drone and its potential applications in real-world settings.
