So they can be used for aerial view in case of operations ?

Yep it can enable the helicopter crew to clearly see what's happening on the ground from a fair distance and possibly even laser illuminate an area for a fighter or attack helicopter to fire at (via LGB or ATGM, respectively).

Looks like a FLIR Systems turret, maybe Star SAFIRE III.

yes ... But for that helicopter or drone are better

I was think more for Police Force in future as budget improves we should consider these kind of helicopters in Police also

even the police in Us doesnt have gunships, all police needs is recon ariel assets with capability to fire bullets and that can be accomodated by a large varierty of lighter platforms and a better way is to merge para groups into one national guard which can be called to support police if need be, we can equip that national gaurd with light attack helis...

Who is asking to give Gunships to Police I am asking to give Police Camera fitted Helicopters to monitor cities and provide Aerial view and those who chase. But still these are years away

Fennec are good recon and light attack Helios for police. California Highway Patrol has many in it's inventory. For many roles including SAR and chasing bad guys and surveillance.

Police special special forces such as ctd could be equipped with such helis for crucial operations. Enabling SWAT teams like CTD to fast rope operators in hostile zone and provide overhead support/situational awareness to operators on ground.
