Drones for Police

Drones have become a force multiplier for police, providing unprecedented views of a scene or incident - helping to fight crime, plan an effective response, and keep officers safe.

Drones are transforming policing by providing enhanced aerial views of incidents, helping to fight crime, plan effective responses, and keep officers safe.

Many police forces now utilise drone technology funded by the Proceeds of Crime Act, using seized criminal assets to equip their teams with cutting-edge tools and training.

Drones, equipped with zoom and thermal cameras, are deployed for search and rescue, crime-scene investigations, crowd control, and accident reconstruction. Their ability to reach inaccessible areas is a game-changer for responding to hazardous situations, natural disasters, and bomb threats, revolutionising public safety efforts.

“Drones allow us to pre-position each unit before we deploy from the ground and it is also great for capturing evidence. Drones are a massive game changer. We can see what’s going on and watch the movement of people. Having footage go straight to the control room in real-time is so beneficial. You can’t write this stuff.”

Mark Talliss, Wiltshire Police

"Kent Police started using a drone in June 2017, and we have been impressed with the results. It has proved to be a cost-effective and efficient tool, supporting officers on the ground to deal with a broad range of policing activities, like searching for suspects/missing people, searching for stolen property, planning and overseeing police operations, and obtaining aerial imagery of crime scenes and RTCs."

Kent Police Statement

"The team was really impressed with DJI AeroScope. It was easy to use and gave real-time information allowing the team the capability to respond in a timely manner, on one occasion so quickly the drone never took off and was subsequently turned off, but getting that high-visibility police presence made whoever was responsible think twice.

It isn’t possible to say with any certainty that the presence of the drone team and the detection equipment, including the AeroScope, prevented any incursion over the British Grand Prix circuit; however with the proactive nature of the operation and the multi-agency collaboration, we can safely say that people were not given the opportunity to fly over the circuit.”

PC Alan Hincks, Northamptonshire Police

"I still remember the first Board of Supervisors’ meeting when we had to give a presentation (about starting the drone programme). There were hundreds of people and every single person spoke against what we were trying to do, mainly because of privacy concerns.

We committed to being transparent throughout the process and I can tell you that five years later – after thousands and thousands of flights – we have not received one single complaint about infringing anybody’s privacy."
