Part 107 vs. Certificate of Authorization (COA)
Part 107
A Part 107 certificate is a faster, more practical option for quickly deploying drones. It benefits and protects your employees and signals to the public that your drone program is well-organized.
Certificate of Authorization
A COA allows more flexibility, such as flying beyond visual line of sight or in controlled airspace. However, it requires a longer approval process and can be more difficult to obtain.
Many public safety teams choose to obtain both a COA and a Part 107 certificate.

The Benefits of Drones in Public Safety
Enhanced Situational Awareness
Drones provide first responders with real-time aerial data, offering a comprehensive view of emergencies and 911 incident locations. From monitoring wildfires to assessing disaster zones to tracking fleeing suspects, drones help teams identify hazards, avoid being ambushed, and make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
Faster Response Times
During emergencies, rapid response is crucial, and advanced technology now allows critical areas to be reached faster than ever. Drones provide immediate visual data, enabling first responders to assess situations and prioritize actions during emergencies like rescues or fires, or during unfolding crimes as they happen.
First Responder Safety
Equipped with advanced features like thermal imaging and high-zoom cameras, drones minimize risk by gathering essential data from a safe distance, reducing the need for personnel to enter hazardous environments. This not only enhances safety but also improves decision-making in high-stakes scenarios.
Enhanced Search and Rescue Operations
Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras and powerful zoom capabilities can quickly locate missing persons or survivors in disaster areas, significantly improving the efficiency and success rate of search and rescue missions.
Cost Efficiency
By offering cost-effective alternatives to traditional methods like helicopters, drones save time, resources, and labor. Their efficiency and versatility make them invaluable tools for modern public safety and emergency response teams, providing support for activities as diverse as accident scene reconstruction, hot spot identification during ongoing fires, or communicating remotely with barricaded suspects.
