Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of using commercial quadrocopters in the official activities of various law enforcement agencies. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that, thanks to technological progress, more and more technical means are now becoming available to law enforcement officials, which can significantly facilitate their work, and in some cases, even save lives. The object of the study is commercial (also called "civilian") quadrocopters. The subject of the study is the use of commercial quadrocopters in the official activities of the police and other law enforcement agencies of foreign countries. The authors have studied current data on the use of quadrocopters in various US law enforcement agencies, as well as analyzed in detail examples of such use (from the road transport sector to conducting assault operations and working in difficult conditions).  The research methodology is based on general scientific methods (induction, deduction, content analysis method), as well as other special research methods such as narrative and historical-genetic research methods. The scientific novelty lies in a detailed study of the use of quadrocopters in the official activities of the police and other law enforcement agencies with the involvement of foreign experience (primarily the United States). A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is a detailed analysis and description of situations in which the use of quadrocopters makes it possible to secure the work of law enforcement officers, as well as in special cases, to save the lives of law enforcement officers. The work also contains a corpus of photographic materials with detailed illustrations and descriptions of examples of the use of quadrocopters in the work of law enforcement agencies. In conclusion, the authors conclude that currently civilian quadrocopters are quite effective and useful tools in the work of law enforcement officers, who are increasingly being introduced into their daily work, separately noting that foreign experience in their use can be applied in law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation.
