No Budget, All Guts: Building a Drone Program with Borrowed Cash and a Prayer with David Spraggs
In Part 1 of this special two-part DroneCast conversation, host Joe Kearns sits down with David Spraggs, former bomb squad commander and current Manager of Customer Success at DroneSense, to explore his pioneering work bringing drones into law enforcement. From his first exposure to a $150,000 UAS in 2014 to building Boulder PD’s drone program from the ground up, David reveals how drones moved from “nice-to-have gadgets” to mission-critical tools in public safety. He shares lessons on community trust, funding, documentation, and cross-agency collaboration that remain essential for agencies building or scaling their own programs today. Stay tuned for Part 2, where David continues his journey and dives deeper into advanced applications and lessons learned.
