Cost of police chases
getting too high
Yet another death attributed to high speed
police chases is strengthening the call for
an end to police pursuits, of suspects of
crimes -
In the past year, innocent bystanders have
been mowed down -by a suspect vehicle or
have been killed inlaccidents resulting from
chases
Most recently, a police offic6r and a ,16 -
year -old suspect' were killed --the officer
'while laying down a spike belt to stop the
vehicle and the suspect, who struck and
killed the officer, when his vehicle crashed.
Each time an incident happens, which
seems to be more and more frequently, a
cry goes out to bring about an end to high
speed pursuits •
"The situation cannot be 1poked at as if it
were that black and white a decision.
Suspects and sometimes innocent
bystanders ore killed in shooting incidents
but disarming an officer is not the right
course of action
It reduces his or her ability to the do the
job
Forbidding a police chase is also 'taking
away from the officer's ability to function
and further protect people.
Perhaps the ground rules of a chase need
to be looked at more closely and maybe not
:all pursuits should occur.
The most recent incident involved the
pursliif of a stolen car it's value couldn't
have been worst'h the loss of life experienced
at the .end of the chase and eventually, the
car and possibly the -suspects could have
been located
Perhaps a murder suspect fleeing the
scene could be considered a pursuable
offence
Picking and •choosing the situations for
when to chose and not wouldn't be a
perfect decis,son but it's worth looking at
And like officers who have to be
recertified regularly on firearm training,
officers "could be required to take more
regular pursuit training and have to meet
minimum standards before being allowed.
One thing that is certain, because of the
high risk for innocent lives to be lost, a
person failing to stop for police should face
much more severe penalties for the crime.
They aren't perfect solutions but
forbidding chases all together is not the'
answer either
