First to Deploy
Drone Search Team
If your child is missing, pick up the phone and call us Immediately. Our team needs to be on scene as quick as possible. We have technology that uses both infrared, and color imaging to help track and locate a missing person. If your loved one went missing in a pink shirt, we can find them using our technology.
Who We Are
First to Deploy is an organization that utilizes drones to assist in missing persons cases. We work closely with law enforcement and other agencies to bring missing loved ones home. Our organization works with several leaders in the drone industry to provide top notch training and programs to help with our mission. We have access to many resources including 3D mapping, and image analysis programs.
We want to spread a message of hope and compassion. We believe that a single volunteer can make a difference in the community, and that collectively we can greatly impact the world.
All of our pilots are FAA certified and trained in best practices for operations
under NIMS guidelines and Emergency Operations Center protocols.
Pix4D Capture
While conducting a search from the air, it is important that our images cover 100% of the search area to ensure that we will not miss anything. Pix4D Capture is an automated program that guides the drone along a preset route while collecting images every few seconds. This allows us to map out large areas quickly and accurately.
