Vendor and internal demo accounts

Feeds that are not a police or fire agency: vendors' demonstration accounts (Axon's, 83 flights on one page) and Skydio's own internal, demo and training accounts. None of these counts toward any agency, state or city page.

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.
  • A feed is a trial when its published name says so (Trial, Beta, Dock Trial). The naming is the vendor's and the agency's; an unmarked trial reads as a production record here.
  • Matching a trial to a production record goes by agency name and state after the trial marking is removed; a renamed agency can read as unconverted.
  • "Quiet" means no flight in the last 30 days. Feeds under the five-flight floor have no page and no dates here.
