BRINC Drones is an American developer of technology in the service of public safety.

Seattle
What does the future of emergency response look like? @GadiNBC with @NBCNews recently visited BRINC to see how public safety agencies are using drones to deliver critical information to first responders in seconds, carry lifesaving tools like Narcan, and reduce the probability of use of force. The story also explores why BRINC was founded: to build technology that helps first responders save lives while keeping them out of harm's way. We're grateful to the agencies across America using public safety drones to keep their communities safe. Watch the full report below.

The leading SWAT drone is featured on the leading SWAT show. SWAT Exiles just dropped its first episode today, and Hondo is back with a new squad and some new equipment – the BRINC Lemur 2. Our team is excited to tune in weekly for some action-packed episodes! Watch Lemur 2 on #SWATExiles, exclusively on STARZ.

Stop Charging. Start Swapping. See Guardian Station's robotic battery swapping mechanism live at booth 2561, IACP 2026. Guardian lands, gets a fresh battery, and is ready to launch again. That is what keeps a 911 response drone in the air across a full shift. Stop by any time the hall is open, or book dedicated Guardian time with our team: buff.ly/JHUyqLG

BRINC is coming to IACP 2026 in Orlando. Visit booth 2561 between October 25-27. We are bringing the full Drone as First Responder (DFR) ecosystem to the Orange County Convention Center. That's Guardian, Responder, Lemur 2, and the stations and software that run them. Stop by and have a real hands-on experience. Take the controls of a drone flying out of Seattle. Walk the system end to end with our team. Sit down for a working session on what a DFR program would look like for your agency. Walk-ins are welcome any time the hall is open, but booking a slot guarantees your time. Reserve yours: buff.ly/Ei5OAkY

BRINC is in the September issue of Fire & Safety Journal Americas. FSJA Managing Editor Lewis Tyler sat down with David Benowitz, our VP of Strategy and Marketing Communications, and Phil Brown, a BRINC Account Executive who spent more than a decade in the fire service, to talk about drones in fire response. They cover why the fire service has been slower than law enforcement to adopt drones, where aircraft are already adding value on fire and wildfire calls, and what fire chiefs should weigh before investing in a Drone as First Responder program. Thanks to the FSJA team for the conversation. Read the full interview: buff.ly/FIGiH0I

What if lifesaving aid could arrive before the rescue crew? A public safety agency in South Florida recently demonstrated how BRINC Responder can support water rescues by rapidly reaching a person in distress and delivering emergency flotation equipment. It’s one more way DFR can help first responders close the gap between the call for help and help arriving.

We’re taking Drone as a First Responder (DFR) tech to new heights with @BRINCdrones. Integrating BRINC drones with CommandCentral Aware and APX NEXT radios delivers faster, smarter aerial intelligence to public safety. Read more from @OfficerCom: bit.ly/4bN1IzC

BRINC made the cover of OFFICER Magazine. The latest cover story, “Flying High,” takes a look at BRINC’s journey from building tactical drones for SWAT teams to developing a full ecosystem of purpose-built public safety drones. It also explores what’s next as we work toward our mission of deploying 911 response drones at all 80,000 police and fire stations across America. From day one, our focus has been clear. We build public safety drones, and only public safety drones. Read the full story here - buff.ly/ESoE28p

Built on @NOAA data, both layers bring fire activity and smoke conditions directly into the same operational map agencies already use to manage drone operations, live video, dispatch information, and incident response. That means fewer screens to monitor and a more complete operational picture when every second matters. And like all BRINC LiveOps upgrades and core integrations, these capabilities are free for BRINC customers.

Wildfires move fast. Public safety agencies need the intelligence to move faster. BRINC just added two new map layers to LiveOps, available to every BRINC customer at no additional cost: live wildfire detections and real-time smoke coverage.

This #SummerOfSavingsAndSolutions, discover how @BrincDrones and NLC are helping cities modernize emergency response with Drone as First Responder (DFR). DFR gives first responders real-time video and two-way communication before officers, firefighters or EMS arrive, helping agencies assess incidents faster, improve decision-making and create safer outcomes for responders and residents. Learn more about how BRINC supports cities with program design, training and implementation to help launch DFR responsibly: bit.ly/4wd6Ggj

When a fire team arrives, it can become a guessing game — where's the fire actually burning, where's it spreading, is anyone still inside. Thermal changes that. Seconds after dispatch, a 911 response drone gives incident commanders a clear read on hot spots invisible to the naked eye, before a single truck is on scene. And it doesn't stop there. As a team vents the roof, command can watch it work in real time, confirming heat's actually venting, and that it's safe to keep other crews working the fire.

Forbes cover star Blake Resnick just landed another $125 million for Brinc Drones, the startup on a mission to replace Chinese-made drones with American-built aircraft for first responders. forbes.com/sites/zoyahasan/2… 📸: Cody Pickens for Forbes

Last week we announced our $125M raise led by Motorola Solutions, with participation from Index Ventures and Dylan Field — and GeekWire's Todd Bishop went deep on what it means for the future of 911 response. The story covers where we're headed next: *Our new Seattle HQ and factory opening later this year, with 3x the production space *New products joining Lemur 2, Responder, and Guardian *Growing the team past 250 (41 open roles right now) It also gets into why the momentum is real: revenue more than tripled in 2025, 911 response drone contracts are up nearly 4x year-over-year, and more than 900 public safety agencies — including LAFD and St. Louis PD — now trust BRINC. The mission hasn't changed: a drone on the roof of every police and fire station in America. All 80,000+ of them. Read Todd's full story: buff.ly/0KPOJUO
