Pursuit policies are trending again. It's a tricky one to be sure. @PoliceForum recently recommended that agencies only permit pursuits when there is evidence of a violent crime *and* failure to immediately apprehend would pose an imminent threat to public safety.
A new podcast on Police Vehicle Pursuits featuring Dr. Geoff Alpert is available from FSU's Policing Research and Policy Institute. Dr. Alpert chaired PERF's Working Group on Pursuits. criminology.fsu.edu/communit…

On October 1, 1993, the Charlotte Police Department and the Mecklenburg County Police Department merged to form @CMPD. This week we’re celebrating 30 years of combined agencies and I’m nostalgic thinking back to when I started my career with the Charlotte Police Department.
