Reports on social media said officers were in the streets of Bramber and the helicopter was hovering over the surrounding towns and villages.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said the area was being searched after concern was raised earlier that day about the welfare of a young local man whose whereabouts were not known.
He subsequently returned home, the spokesman said, and is safe.
