Where this record comes from
Skydio? Skydio is a US drone maker. Agencies flying its drones as first responders can publish a public flight log on a Skydio-hosted transparency dashboard, which lists each flight with its takeoff, landing, path and stated purpose.
This record publishes flight id, takeoff and landing to the second, full path, stated purpose; every participating agency. Open Lake County Sheriff's Office's own published record.
Lake County Sheriff's Office drones flew 15 times between 3 January 2025 and 29 January 2025, by the agency's own published record. 15 of those flights were in January 2025.
4 hours of flight time in the record.
9 in 10 flights were shorter than 21 minutes.
13% of flights took off between 10 pm and 6 am (EST).
0 flights had a sensitive stated purpose. Those are listed, and drawn as an area rather than a path.

How this page is made
- Every flight in the agency's published record is counted and listed; drawn paths are the whole flight, takeoff to landing.
- The record's free-text description is never read into a page. A flight whose stated purpose names a domestic, sexual-assault, kidnapping, welfare, mental-health or juvenile matter is listed like any other but drawn as a generalised area, not a path.
- Operators are the agency's own accounts in the record, numbered within the agency in order of first flight; no name or address is read into a page.
- Purposes are the agency's own words, grouped into classes by a fixed list of terms; unmatched values are "Other" and blank ones "Not stated".
- Times are shown on the agency's own local clock.
- Without filters the map draws at most 400 flights, sampled evenly from the latest full month, and the flight list is that month, capped at 500 rows. With filters the map draws at most 400 and the list at most 500, both sampled evenly, and the count line says when a cap applied. The whole-record option is an even 400-flight sample.
- Record source: the agency's Skydio transparency feed?, published under the name
Lake County Sheriff's Office (FL).
