Summary/Abstract: The technical and technological revolution and the development of artificial intelligence are accelerating the development of technical means, both those used for military, civilian, and police purposes. Small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) have become a modern means of warfare in world hotspots in just a few years, while domestically, the police forces of developed countries have recognized the potential for their application within the framework of their operational duties and tasks. Many police operational duties and tasks can be performed more effectively or efficiently with sUAVs. Taking all of the above into account, this paper aims to present the potential of sUAVs for police work using a descriptive-analytical approach. The scientific justification of the theoretical study of this topic is reflected in the topicality and the need to expand scientific knowledge about the subject of research. The authors collected data through a qualitative analysis of existing literature on the use of sUAVs by police forces in developed countries and on positive examples of their use. The limitation of this research is reflected in the analysis of the possibility of using sUAVs only within specific police organizational units. It encourages other researchers to approach this topic in a multidisciplinary manner to more fully and comprehensively analyze the needs for the use of sUAVs in the work of the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
