Pursuit procedures refer to the established guidelines and tactics used by law enforcement officers when engaging in a chase to apprehend a suspect. These procedures aim to balance the need for public safety with the urgency of capturing a fleeing individual. Officers are trained to assess the situation, considering factors such as traffic conditions, the nature of the crime, and the potential risk to bystanders. During a pursuit, officers must communicate effectively with their team and dispatch, providing updates on their location and the suspect's behavior. The use of police vehicles and pursuit technology is often involved, ensuring that officers can safely and efficiently follow the suspect while minimizing danger to the public.
