The Plan to Make American Crime Obsolete

There's two things cops hate, for things to change and for things to stay the same. Most of the cops in the field are going to have to change the way their skill set is shaped because it's gonna be a little bit more investigative. It's going to be a little bit more nuanced. It's not going to look the same anymore. Are people just gonna start seeing drones flying around? Is that where we are? You hear a gunshot go off and the drone finds a shooter getting into a car and driving off and then pursuing the vehicle. It's kind of almost hard to see that it isn't inevitable. We can't do that with a helicopter today unless you've just kept five helicopters up twenty four seven, and that's just not sustainable. What advice would you give to founders who are less interested in optimizing ad clicks and more interested in actually building something that helps first responders and save lives? My advice American law enforcement is being asked to do more with less. Departments are short staffed, officers are burning out, and the complexity of the job keeps growing. But the technology available to public safety has never been more powerful. Drones that respond to 911 calls before a patrol car can leave the station, license plate readers that flag an amber alert vehicle in real time, body worn camera analytics that detect burnout before an officer hits a breaking point. These aren't prototypes, They're deployed today in departments across the country. The harder question is how you actually get this technology into the field. Law enforcement moves slowly by design. Trust is built over years, not product cycles. And the gap between what's technically possible and what departments will adopt is wide. Colonel Jeffrey Glover and Rahul Sidhu speak with David Ulewicz about rebuilding public safety for the twenty first century. I'm on the board of Flock Safety. There's other companies like Skydio that make drones. I'm the recipient of constant notifications from you guys. Hey. We found a kidnapped child. We used the technology in this way. We were able to deescalate a situation. I remember one story where someone called 911 and said, hey. There's a guy in the alleyway with a shotgun. Well, you can imagine how a police officer would respond to that call, but it turned out the drone provided situational awareness and said, wait. There's just a janitor with a broom. That's not a guy with a shotgun. And it totally deescalates the situation. So it was really incredible. Anything else we should know, Rahul, about where are we in the sort of nationwide in the state of drone deployment? Are people just gonna start to see drones flying around? Is that where we are? Yeah. Look, drones are they're flying robots. And as we see AI robotics sweep every industry, like, all these industries are looking for ways to either automate things, make things more efficient, make things more …
