Aircraft X was on short final when they reported a possible UAS at about 1000 feet; 200 to 300 feet over the train tracks on approach end of the runway. The pilot did not report proximity; but did not sound concerned and continued in the pattern. A P28A following was given an advisory about the reported UAS; but could not confirm a sighting. Both aircraft were switched to a different runway to prevent them from overflying the area until police could investigate. Notify authorities immediately; especially when in close proximity to a critical phase of flight; such as approach or departure. From notification by the pilot until the Controller in Charge called was about 10 to 15 minutes due to trying to get a visual sighting of the UAS.
A Tower Local Control trainee reported an aircraft reported sighting a drone in the Tower airspace.
