Why law enforcement agencies should include pursuit training and technology in their reform and de-escalation efforts (eBook)
Vehicle pursuits are known high-risk events that result in injury and death to hundreds of people each year. Although pursuits can be equally as lethal as an officer-involved shooting, they have not received the same degree of attention and continued policy critique nationwide as other uses of force.
While calls for police reform grow louder, law enforcement agencies should consider high-speed vehicle pursuits as a use of force that merits re-evaluation and consider pursuit-response technology and training as part of their ongoing commitment to safe and effective de-escalation.
This eBook will provide ideas that every law enforcement agency can implement to promote safer outcomes for police officers, suspects and citizens alike. You’ll learn:
- How stolen vehicle assistance technology can be used to apprehend car thieves safely.
- How pursuit-response technology can be used to reduce risk and improve tactical decision-making during pursuit events
- Why and how de-escalation training applies in the driver’s seat.
