Cobb County, GA Sheriff’s Office
During the 2024 presidential race, Cobb County Sheriff's Office was responsible for protecting presidential candidates and ensuring their safety during visits to Cobb County. With the increased prevalence of unauthorized drones in sensitive airspace, the team faced the dual challenge of identifying potential threats in real-time and providing that comprehensive aerial situational awareness to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). Ensuring the safety of high-profile individuals required cutting-edge technology capable of monitoring and securing the airspace while simultaneously assisting with operational surveillance.
To tackle these challenges, the Cobb County Sheriff's Office utilized the DedroneRapidResponse trailer in conjunction with Axon Air to deploy their drones effectively. This combined solution enabled constant surveillance of drone activity while also supplying real-time video streams from authorized drones directly to USSS personnel. By seamlessly integrating this technology into its operational procedures, the office achieved comprehensive airspace awareness, mitigated potential risks, and provided essential visual intelligence to support the USSS.
The seamless coordination between Dedrone by Axon, Cobb County Sheriff's Office, and the U.S. Secret Service delivered outstanding results, ensuring the safety and security of all candidates visiting Cobb County during the presidential race. DedroneRapidResponse successfully detected and tracked unauthorized drones in real-time, enabling swift responses to any threats.
The DedroneRapidResponse trailer was instrumental in ensuring that we could safeguard the airspace and deliver the level of security needed for these high-profile events. Dedrone by Axon's technology gave us the confidence and capability to handle any drone threats effectively.
