The five-week Eagle helicopter trial launched this morning - the first time one's been based in the South Island.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush says  the chopper's been a great help managing road incidents in Auckland.
He says police can't let the roads be ruled by lawless drivers - and they need to be held to account.
