A helicopter chase occurs when law enforcement or news agencies use helicopters to pursue a suspect or track an event from the air. This method allows for a broader view of the situation, helping authorities monitor movements and coordinate ground units effectively. Helicopters can cover large areas quickly and provide real-time updates. These chases often involve high-speed pursuits, where the helicopter follows a vehicle, such as a car or motorcycle, attempting to evade capture. The aerial perspective can capture dramatic footage, making helicopter chases popular in news broadcasts and reality television shows, showcasing the intensity of police work.
