To Chase or Not to Chase:
Are the Risks of a Pursuit Worth It?
We talk about safety and statistics, what factors to weigh the risk versus reward, how policies play into decision making, what the Brits mean when they say “Red Mist,” and alternatives to vehicle pursuits including the role of Air Support, PIT, The Grappler, road spikes, surveillance, and intelligence gathering.
