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.
