LEGO City set 60243, Police Helicopter Chase, depicts a police pursuit with a helicopter in the City Police theme. Released in 2020, it contains 212 pieces and presents a conflict between police officers and criminals.

Police Helicopter Chase is part of LEGO City, under the Police subtheme. Its subject is a city action scene built around a pursuit, with a police helicopter providing the central vehicle focus and the criminal characters giving the scenario its opposing side.

It suits narrative play, a small LEGO City display, or a collection focused on City Police minifigures and vehicles. Among sets from the same theme, it represents an aerial police response rather than a station-based or road-only scene, making it a focused addition to a broader City Police layout.
