L.A. Real Estate developer supports the National Public Safety Drone Donation Program

On April 21, 2022, Bell Gardens Police Department made application to the National Public Safety Drone Donation Program NPS-DDP.org for a free drone. The department explained why the drone would help protect the communities they serve. A local business owner and real estate developer, Kristi Cirtwill CEO and owner of Cirtwill Investments and founder of HoarderHomes.com contacted the NPS-DDP.org foundation and offered to supply a very advanced starter drone kit for this particular department. This new lifesaving technology has proven to be valuable asset to other departments across the country and is sure to help save lives and property within the Bell Gardens community. As a direct result of her generosity, two other companies that have support NPS-DDP in the past are also going to be making hardware and software donations. Cirtwill Investments: “ I am excited to donate a drone to the Bell Gardens Police Department. I met Mark Langley with NPS-DDP and was very pleased to learn about the work his non profit company does to help public safety agencies. I fully support the Bell Gardens drone program and its ability to keep their officers safer and protect the lives of the public. Cirtwill Investments is a small, woman founded, owned and operated business in Los Angeles that deals with all types of distressed properties including hoarded homes, homes with code violations, red-tagged homes, abandoned/vacant houses, homes with drug dealers or squatters and homes with any type of biohazard.
