BRINC, a Seattle-based public safety drone manufacturer, announced on July 14, 2026, that it has secured a $125 million financing round led by Motorola Solutions. This investment raises BRINC's total capital to over a quarter billion dollars and aims to deploy a BRINC 911 response drone at every police and fire station across the U.S., targeting 80,000 facilities.
The funding will enable BRINC to expand its domestic manufacturing, launch new products, and scale its go-to-market operations. The company plans to move into a facility three times the size of its current factory by the end of 2026 to meet the increasing demand from public safety agencies. In 2025, BRINC tripled its revenue and quintupled its monthly production capacity, signing nearly four times as many contracts for 911 response drones in 2026 compared to the previous year.
Looking ahead, BRINC's founder Blake Resnick emphasized the importance of situational awareness in emergencies, stating that their drones provide critical information before first responders arrive. The company is also collaborating with the National League of Cities for a nationwide rollout of drone first response (DFR) initiatives. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
