Kansas City, KS, 10/23/2025 -- Titan Protection’s drone technology and on-the-ground patrol team worked together to safely deter a trespasser armed with a machete on Custom Truck’s property in Kansas City, MO.
During a routine perimeter mission, a Titan drone operator identified an individual fishing along a remote riverbank on the property. Using the drone's spotlight and onboard speaker, the operator made verbal contact and immediately notified Titan's mobile patrol team of the individual's location and appearance — including the fact that he appeared to be carrying a machete.
"Our drone operator and patrol team were able to communicate in real time, which allowed us to make contact quickly and safely," said Thomas Keary, Automated Operations Manager at Titan Protection. "After a brief conversation with the individual, he picked up his belongings and left the property without further incident. This incident demonstrates how drone surveillance can enhance both safety and response time. Our technology continues to redefine what's possible in private security -- protecting people, property, and peace of mind."
The incident demonstrates how Titan's drone-assisted security has proven to be a valuable force multiplier for protecting large or hard-to-access sites. Titan's AI-enabled, self-docking drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras, spotlights, and speakers, allowing operators to identify and respond to potential threats quickly while reducing risk to personnel.
Titan's Automated Response and Patrol (ARP) Technology combines automated drones with remote pilots. These systems can conduct scheduled patrols, proactively respond to threats, monitor blind spots, and provide real-time intelligence to security teams anywhere in the United States outside of restricted airspace.
Operating from their 5-Diamond and UL-certified remote pilot operations center in Kansas City, KS, Titan's certified operators monitor, respond to, and inspect all areas of a property on demand, including blind spots and hard-to-reach areas, without the time and expense of getting individual waivers for each site.
