Smart policing starts with smart technology. This article explores how cities can blend overt deterrence, covert evidence gathering, and AI-driven analytics to maximize public safety and make the most of limited manpower. Using examples like the MAXSUR Merlin, GBOX Ultra, and Camect Systems, author Victor Hale explains how layered surveillance strategies deter crime, support investigations, and strengthen community trust.

Turning OPEX into CAPEX: how agencies can capitalize training, app development, and integrated tech procurements (UAS, VMS, surveillance) to fund modernization within long-term capital programs. Includes practical scenarios and how MAXSUR structures compliant, auditable projects.

DJI drones helped shape today’s public safety UAS market. But with talk of bans, NDAA compliance, and Blue/Green UAS certifications, agencies must weigh capability, cost, and cybersecurity.

LiDAR isn’t here to replace photogrammetry—it’s here to enhance it. Together, these drone technologies give public safety professionals the ability to capture crime scenes, accidents, and complex environments with unmatched accuracy and detail.

To remove flight restrictions from your drone, please follow the instructions contained in the below video.  Referenced in the video, is the Self Unlock site which can be found by Read More
