Strategic partnership between IEDO & IPA

18 Dec, 2020, No comments

The International Police Association (IPA) has signed an MoU with the International Emergency Drone Organization (IEDO). The IPA is a non-profit association made up of nearly 400, 000 members of the police service in over 100 countries worldwide promoting international cooperation. The IEDO contacted the IPA in order to make contact with the police services to try to develop further cooperation. This partnership between IEDO and IPA will create new synergies about public safety UAS uses. The goal is to promote the use of drones by police services in several countries in order to save more lives. The development of knowledge and experience sharing initiated by IEDO will find its place through the international IPA network. Because the legislation, the technology of the UAS is developing extremely quickly, the sharing of the expertise of IEDO members through the IPA network will be able to erase the delays and difficulties in the use of UAS for police missions. The IEDO will help IPA members to seek training and knowledge about the use of drones, the goal is to have the IEDO put up seminars and training for IPA.

Creation of IEDO

16 Jun, 2018, No comments

Today the 16th June 2018, 5 persons from emergency services and humanitarian association have created a new organization : IEDO, the International Emergency Drone Organization.

Considering that no organization gathers emergency drones units together, we identified that something is lacking. Furthermore, the units and the associations using the drone for emergencies are testing each in their country : techniques, tricks or new solutions. But without communicating in a transverse way.

IEDO aims at gathering all the emergency drone units and associations to exchange together in order to improve and structure the use of the drone.

We are very pleased to announce the implementation of a brand new monthly newsletter for IEDO members. It will cover the global news of the public safety drone as well as news from IEDO (such as National seminars, webinars, etc).
