Apparently that tech doesn't work very well through much canopy. It would also detect animals. Most importantly, they have a helluva lot of ground to cover...no idea on the range/breadth an IR camera could detect at any given time, but you're still in needle in a haystack territory. Consider how difficult it can be for SAR teams to find people who actually want to be found...
Even if you happen to find two long/skinny heat blobs that you think are them, getting officers in position to visually confirm, let alone apprehend them is neither quick nor easy. Apparently a space blanket would probably defeat this tech, too - if they've planned this out, then they simply get under good cover and throw on their invisibility cloak if they hear rotors...
