The Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) is a method used by law enforcement to safely stop a fleeing vehicle. It involves a police vehicle making contact with the rear side of the suspect's vehicle, causing it to spin out and come to a stop. This technique is designed to minimize the risk of high-speed chases and reduce potential harm to the public. PIT is typically employed when the fleeing driver poses a significant threat to public safety. Officers are trained to execute this maneuver carefully, ensuring that it is done in a controlled manner. The technique is part of broader police tactics aimed at managing vehicle pursuits effectively.
