rtcc cENTER OF THE MONTH
The National Real Time Crime Center Association is pleased to announce the Arlington (TX)
Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center is the recipient of this month’s Real Time Crime
Center of the Month award.
Arlington proudly started a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program that is integrated into
their real time policing strategy. This program received their Beyond Visual Line of Site (BVLOS)
waivers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), allowing them to fly without a traditional
visual observer.
This DFR program augments Arlington’s traditional aviation program and is intended to increase
efficiency and safety of first responders. The drones respond to areas up to 1.5 miles from the
docking station and fly near 50 miles per hour to the location of the event.
Arlington Police Department aims to provide a faster response to critical calls for service while
sharing vital information to officers for safer outcomes.
