Orange County Sheriff’s Department Expands Threat Assessment Capabilities and Officer Safety with TVU Networks
Live video distribution to Air Support Bureau and individualized monitoring creates greater situational awareness
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — The Air Support Bureau of California’s Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) is using the TVU One mobile transmitter with its aerial reconnaissance fleet to provide real-time decision-making during incidents.
The Air Support Bureau oversees the OCSD’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program, which was launched in 2019. Orange County has more than 20 pilots to operate its fleet of UAVs. However, before adopting TVU’s solutions earlier this year, command staff would have to crowd around the UAV pilot and watch the small monitor on the drone controller during a live incident to review video.
