Conroe PD Purchases Skydio X10 Drones with Seized Criminal Assets to Launch DFR Program
The Conroe Police Department in Texas has launched a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program funded entirely by seized criminal assets, with no taxpayer dollars spent. The department acquired two Skydio X10 drones and two landing pads, authorized by the city council in December 2025. Deployed from City Hall's rooftop, the X10 can reach high-activity areas in approximately two minutes—compared to over four minutes for a patrol car—marking a significant improvement in response times.
