As long as these flights stay below certain altitudes and away from the arrival and departure paths I don't think it would be a big deal for ATC. Exactly. Police helicopters fly low enough that unless they are on the final approach or departure path, its not a big deal. Its a common misconception that because news helicopters following the chase are denied clearance to fly near an airport, the same would apply to the police helicopters.
