BRINC, a Seattle-based public safety drone company, has raised $125 million in a funding round led by Motorola Solutions, bringing its total funding to over $250 million. This investment will enable BRINC to expand its manufacturing capabilities and product offerings, with the goal of deploying a 911 response drone at every police and fire station in the U.S.
The significance of this funding lies in BRINC's ambition to enhance emergency response times across the nation. With approximately 80,000 police and fire stations in the U.S., the deployment of drones can provide crucial situational awareness before first responders arrive, potentially saving lives and improving operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, BRINC plans to move into a new manufacturing facility by the end of the year, which is three times larger than its current site. The company has already seen a surge in demand for its drones, tripling its revenue in 2025 and signing significantly more contracts for 911 response drones compared to the previous year. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
