Small Communities: Perfect for DFRs with Chris Baker, Oswego’s Drone & Robotics Coordinator

In this episode of Dronecast: Rethinking Public Safety, One Drone at a Time, host John McLeod speaks to Chris Baker, Systems Administrator and Drone & Robotics Coordinator for the City of Oswego. They discuss Oswego’s drone program, why small cities are perfect for Drone First Responders, and how he maintains relationships with stakeholders to keep the program running. Chris has been involved with the City of Oswego in a technical capacity for the past five years, moving into the drone and robotics program in the last two years. Oswego’s drone program is unique; it's run by the city’s IT department and funded with their tech budget, instead of being the responsibility of the fire or police department.
