Overwatch for the people who run toward it.
Police drone programs run out of battery just as incidents get interesting. Kestrel perches over a scene for hours, relays comms for teams on the ground, and records everything for court.
How law enforcement customers deploy Tencer.
Hours of overwatch, not minutes
Perched over a barricade or a search area, Kestrel watches for hours while officers concentrate on the scene.
Crowd safety at scale
A constellation of perched sentries gives command a stable, elevated view across stadiums, parades and festivals.
Thermal search grids
Kestrels leapfrog across a search grid at night, perching to scan with thermal before moving to the next sector.
Built for oversight
Every flight, perch and frame is logged with chain of custody. Policy controls enforce what each agency may record.

Questions from law enforcement teams.
Are law-enforcement configurations armed?
No. Law-enforcement and civil configurations carry observation, lighting, voice and relay payloads only.
How does Tencer support privacy and oversight requirements?
Meridian enforces agency policy: recording zones, retention schedules, role-based access and public transparency reports generated from the audit log.
Does Kestrel integrate with dispatch?
Yes. Meridian integrates with common CAD and real-time crime center platforms so Kestrels can be tasked to calls.
