HeroFundUSA, Inc. – THE FIRST-RESPONDER’S FIRST RESPONDER!

A charity in Blue Springs, HeroFundUSA, focused on first responders helped buy the Lee's Summit Police Department's first drone. 

​

The $5,000 drone will help document crime scenes, map crashes sites, and conduct search-and-rescues. 

"Last night, we got a call from one of the sergeants that they wanted to try and located a man who was suicidal under one of the shelters at one of the parks," LSPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Chris Depue said. "It's a large wooded area, a large area to search. The drone can help us shrink that size down and search that area quickly, and it's safer than doing it on foot with human beings."

​

Lee's Summit police now join a growing trend.

Law enforcement agencies make up two-thirds of the more 900 first-responder agencies in the United States that currently using a drone, according to a study released in May from Bard College in New York.

HeroFundUSA, Inc. was founded by a small group of concerned citizens in Missouri and Kansas on the belief that first responders are often unsung heroes to our many fellow citizens throughout our states. 

HeroFundUSA, Inc. is fully self-sustaining in our fundraising efforts with 100% of our public support and fundraising event income being used in support of the mission services.  Our administrative costs are funded via a separate annual membership campaign.
