The story

News 5 Cleveland reports eight attempted break-ins over a month in Brewster: seven at homes and one at a business. Police said they had begun nightly patrols with a thermal-imaging drone while seeking to identify a suspect. The report does not name the drone brand.

The VES perspective

Brewster police added nightly thermal-drone patrols after eight attempted break-ins over a month; how quickly can your team assess an after-hours alert? Nightingale Security’s Blackbird can launch autonomously in under 20 seconds, bringing live aerial visibility to the response workflow.

News 5 Cleveland does not identify the drone brand used by Brewster police. Nightingale is a related solution discussed by VES, and no involvement in these patrols is claimed. The under-20-second figure describes autonomous launch, not arrival at an incident.

Darren Hannam, owner of VES Operations & Management LLC, also serves as Sales Director at Nightingale Security. Nightingale is a separate company.
