Summary
- Restores previous law allowing police pursuit.
- Lowers the evidentiary threshold required for engaging in a vehicular pursuit by allowing an officer to conduct the vehicular pursuit if the officer has reasonable suspicion that a person has committed or is committing any criminal offense.
- Eliminates the provisions limiting a vehicular pursuit to situations where the vehicular pursuit is necessary for the purpose of identifying or apprehending a person, the person poses an imminent threat to the safety of others, and the officer receives authorization from a supervisor and there is supervisory control.
- Modifies certain vehicular pursuit requirements related to supervisory oversight and establishes new requirements related to direct communication with specified entities, development of a plan to end the vehicular pursuit, and the pursuing officer’s training and certifications.
