Foley, AL approves Skydio drones as first responders for police and fire
Foley City Council approved two Skydio drones, with a five-year service contract costing just over $200,000 a year, for police and fire first response. Dispatchers will launch the drones to scenes, streaming live video to responders before they arrive. Skydio will survey the city to find dispatch locations, and officials expect the drones to be operating by early next year.
