A number of forces use drones including Devon, Cornwall and Dorset Police
Kent Police is expected to start using a drone to help search for missing people and take pictures of crime scenes.
The force said it was testing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and expected it to be "operationally functional" in 2016.
Drones can be fitted with thermal imaging cameras and take aerial shots.
Kent Police Federation chairman Ian Pointon said they were a "cost-effective way" of searching for people.
