Picking out specific targets for ground police. It’s easier to track an individual through a crowd from above. This may be because they are armed, or something else that makes them high priority. Snipers are out of the question, firing into a fast moving mass of people would only end badly.
I've seen security staff do this at a night club I worked in. They spot something and shine a light on you so their colleagues in the crowd know where you are.
