"We are very excited that the partnership is continuing, enabling PolAir to be our eyes in the sky," Sergeant Lawrie Catterson said.
"They assist with the co-ordinated police response to catch car thieves, and they help us with missing people."
Police commissioner Katarina Carroll said PolAir's 24-hour, 365-day services had a reputation for supporting frontline police.
"With the capabilities of PolAir and our dedicated tactical flight officers, PolAir is delivering safety outcomes for officers and the community on a daily basis."
The government will soon begin the tender process for a contract beyond 2024. It will soon call for registrations of interest.
