Drones and the Emergency Services
iRed currently works with a number of drone programmes within the public sector and blue light services, including the Hampshire and Surrey Constabularies. Drone technology has a wide range of applications, which make it ideal for use within organisations such as the Emergency Services.
Drones can be used to provide accurate, real-time visual information and precise data. When integrated with specialist sensors such as thermal cameras, drones become effective tools for search and rescue teams, including the location of missing persons.
A DJI Enterprise Partner, iRed provides industry leading drone platforms and specialist sensors to customers nationwide. As the only supplier with an active operations and accredited drone training division, iRed has an unrivalled knowledge and expertise of their products, which are utilised for both surveys and training.
