Target tracking system, comprising: a drone 6 including an imaging device and a location device; and a drone control system 8 remote from and in wireless communication with the drone; the drone being controlled to track the target 2 based on visual characteristics of the target provided to the drone and/or the drone control system from an external source. The external source providing the visual characteristics may be an image recognition system installed on a premises such as a petrol station 4. The visual characteristics may be a vehicle number plate and/or facial features. Location data and/or image data from the drone may be transmitted to an enforcement service. Target tracking may be initiated by an external trigger associated with criminal or undesirable activity that identifies the target as to be tracked. In a second embodiment, a security system comprises: a drone including an imaging device; a drone control system remote from but in wireless communication with the drone; and a drone launch control device adapted to launch the drone and deploy the drone to a specific location. The launch control device may be an app on a smartphone 16 that triggers the launch manually or automatically when a condition is sensed such as a movement; sound; and/or the location.
