Formation, Spacing and Levels Of Force

Line Formation

To ensure safety the pursuit must stick to a strict line formation. Nobody should overtake and vehicles should be following each other to prevent accidents at sharp turns or people attempting to overtake and causing accidents. If you plan on overtaking, request permission from the vehicle you overtake and tell them which side you are passing on.

Spacing

You should remain at least 3 vehicle widths away from the vehicle in front to prevent brake checks and accidental collisions. Pursuing officers should take the necessary precaution in the event that the suspect shows signs of intending to brake check officers out of the pursuit.

While in pursuit, officers must maintain a proper lane of travel. Officers must also remain off of sidewalks, grass, and other non-roadway surfaces unless the chase goes off road first.

Pursuit Levels of Force

Under 100 MPH PIT

Once Authorized Officers can use the PIT maneuver as standard practice because at lower speeds, the risk of the vehicle flipping or causing a serious crash is reduced

Under 120 MPH PIT

Once Authorized, The PIT maneuver would still be an option but used with greater caution due to the higher risk of severe crashes. This could be implemented if the situation is deemed urgent, but perhaps only under specific conditions.

Under no circumstances should tasers be used from vehicles
