A drone docking system is disclosed that is connected to a drone. The drone docking system has a positioning member that connects to the drone and is configured to rotate the angle of the drone from a generally horizontal position to a generally vertical position. Connected to the positioning member is a charging member, which in one embodiment has a charging prong. The charging member is configured to connect to a power source, such as one located on existing infrastructure, e.g., a street light. A connection member is connected to the charging member. The connection member engages existing infrastructure to hold the drone in place. In one arrangement, the connection member has a pair of arcuate arms that receive, retain, and hold onto the existing infrastructure. In one example, the pair of arcuate arms are spring biased to apply a gripping pressure on the existing infrastructure.
