C172 PLT WAS INTERCEPTED BY A POLICE HELI AFTER ENTERING TFR AIRSPACE.

Narrative

WHILE FLYING VFR TFC WATCH I ENTERED A TFR ESTABLISHED AROUND A SPORTS EVENT. BEFORE THAT FLT I HAD USED A DUAT COMPUTER TERMINAL AT MY LCL FBO TO CHK THE WX. I SCROLLED THROUGH ALL OF THE NOTAMS AND I MISSED THE ONE CONCERNING THE TFR. I HAVE FLOWN WITHOUT INCIDENT SINCE I STARTED THIS JOB. ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY THERE WASN'T ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORMAL FOR MY FLT. I JUST DID NOT READ; OR COMPREHEND THE NOTAM ESTABLISHING THE TFR. I FEEL THAT THE NUMBER OF NOTAMS THAT MUST BE READ BEFORE A FLT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS OCCURRENCE. I READ THE NOTAMS THAT DAY AND THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY'S NOTAMS. I DISCOVERED I HAD ENTERED THE TFR WHEN I MANEUVERED TO AVOID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A MIDAIR WITH A HELI. AS IT TURNS OUT THE HELI WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT HELI TAKING EVASIVE ACTION TO KEEP ME OUT OF THE TFR. I WAS MONITORING A LCL AIR TO AIR FREQ AND THE HELI WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH COM WITH ME; AND INSTRUCTED ME TO LAND. I FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTIONS. I HAVE GIVEN IT A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT TO PREVENTING THIS KIND OF THING FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. IT SEEMS THAT I BECAME COMPLACENT WITH READING MY NOTAMS DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF THEM THERE ARE TO READ. I WOULD SUGGEST CREATING A NEW CLASS OF NOTAM DEALING SPECIFICALLY WITH TFR AREAS. THIS WOULD ENABLE A PLT TO QUICKLY DETERMINE THE STATUS OF ANY TFR AREAS WITHOUT HAVING TO DIG THE INFO OUT OF THE NUMEROUS NOTAM LISTINGS.
