A Vehicle Pursuit Policy outlines the guidelines and procedures that law enforcement agencies follow when pursuing a suspect in a vehicle. This policy aims to balance the need for public safety with the necessity of apprehending suspects. It typically includes criteria for initiating a pursuit, such as the severity of the crime and the potential danger to the public. The policy also addresses the responsibilities of officers during a pursuit, including communication with dispatch and the use of appropriate tactics. Additionally, it often mandates the termination of a pursuit if it becomes too dangerous or if the suspect's identity can be established later.
