How Winston-Salem PD Collapsed Emergency Response Times with Skydio and Prepared

The Winston-Salem Police Department used to lose 4+ minutes before a patrol officer even started responding. Now, a Skydio drone is airborne within 10 seconds of a 911 call and on scene within 120 seconds of launch. The difference: a direct integration between Skydio's command platform and Prepared, which feeds live 911 audio, call transcriptions, and AI-generated summaries to DFR operators in real time. Pilots no longer wait for dispatch to relay information. They identify response need the moment a call comes in. Assistant Chief Manny Gomez explains how the old workflow created compounding delays at every handoff, and how the new workflow eliminates them.
