If high speed chases are a problem in large urban centers, having a helicopter at your disposal virtually eliminates the danger posed by high speed pursuit and also virtually eliminates the chances that a suspect will escape.
Helicopters let the police cruisers back off, evaluate where the suspect is going, and plan ahead. I was glad to hear the GVRD (Greater Vancouver regional district) just put funding in place for a helicopter to be at the disposal of the police.
