Aerial Search Services for Missing Persons
Rapid drone deployment to assist families and authorities in Milwaukee during critical times.
Welcome to Smart Sky Patrol
At Smart Sky Patrol, we are committed to utilizing advanced drone technology to assist in locating missing persons in Milwaukee. With a team of FAA Part 107 certified remote pilots and active members of the National Association for Search and Rescue, we provide rapid and effective support to families and local authorities during critical times.
Our pilots are dedicated volunteers, scheduled based on availability to ensure timely assistance when it matters most.
When We Can Help
The Milwaukee Police Department typically initiates a search for missing persons immediately if there are concerns for safety, but may wait 24 hours in some cases for adults without immediate danger.
Smart Sky Patrol can begin a search as soon as we are informed of a missing person, even before police involvement.
We encourage coordination with law enforcement to ensure effective and lawful search efforts. Every minute counts — our rapid deployment capability means we can be in the air while other resources are still mobilizing.
