MELVILLE, N.Y., July 18, 2016 — BZ Media LLC announced today the third in its series of critical examinations of the hype and reality behind certain vertical commercial drone markets, “The Truth About Drones in Public Safety and First Responder Operations.” The free report was commissioned by BZ Media and written and produced by Skylogic Research.

“Despite the fear by segments of the public that use of drones heralds a ‘surveillance state,’ many more believe they provide tremendous benefits and dividends for public safety,” said Colin Snow, CEO and Founder of Skylogic Research, LLC. “In this paper we show how small drones have been used successfully thus far by law enforcement, firefighters, and search & rescue personnel as tools that aid everything from traffic accident investigation, to crime scene forensics, to fire investigation and damage assessment.”

“We are presenting a number of class sessions and panels on using drones for public safety, surveillance and in search & rescue operations,” said Conference Chairman Ted Bahr, “and the show floor is full of vendors who can help fire and police departments as well as other professionals involved in search and rescue to incorporate this amazing technology in their work.”

InterDrone is the world’s largest event dedicated to commercial drones and expects to host more than 4,000 commercial drone buyers and flyers who will learn at more than 120 sessions. More than 135 exhibitors will be showing the latest drones and related technology in the expo hall.
