Fair point N707ZS. I've now re-phrased it as a comment specific to DTV as under.
I understand that British police helicopters are flown by non-police officers most, perhaps all, former military helicopter pilots as was the case in the recent Glasgow tragedy.
I presume the police helicopter pilots using DTV are such people.
Given that they are professional pilots and highly experienced it's most unlikely in my view that they would be prepared to fly if they believed that fire or other regulations were not being met.
