Remote Pilot Staffing for DFR & Security Operations
Extend your drone program to true 24/7 coverage with trained remote pilots and custom pilot-management software — without adding internal headcount.
Flying Lion’s Remote Staffing Service pairs custom-built pilot management software with highly trained remote pilots to support Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs and security operations around the clock. It gives agencies access to experienced sworn and unsworn Remote Pilots who can rapidly respond to flight requests and support mission-critical drone operations.
Remote pilots can be integrated directly into an agency’s Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) or Security Operations Center (SOC), or provide support remotely through Flying Lion’s dedicated remote operations capabilities. For organizations requiring law enforcement experience, Flying Lion can also provide current or recently retired sworn personnel to support mission requirements.
With experience supporting more than 120,000 drone flights across public safety and security missions, Flying Lion brings proven operational expertise and scalable support. Our pilots are cross-trained across all major DFR software and hardware platforms, enabling quick integration into any existing program — because we’re not tied to any specific drone, dock, or software platform, we can support virtually any combination of hardware and software you choose to deploy.
