Why should Vicpol care if they show up?? Neither ATC nor anyone else know where they're going.
Maybe they want to be seen.. after all, they can travel a darn sight faster in the air than the bad guys on the ground. Absolutely no different to a police car chasing them, sirens blaring and lights flashing.
