Police pursuit driving is a prime example of this decision-making dilemma, as it presents the opportunity to apprehend a suspect, while also presenting the possibility of endangering the lives of the officers and general public. Law enforcement personnel must find a reasonable balance that weighs the potential of apprehending a suspect against the potential for personal injury and property damage. Past research has indicated that nationwide, approximately 40% of all pursuits resulted in an accident (Dunham, Alpert, Kenny, & Cromwell, 1998 and Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2009). Roughly 50% of all pursuit collisions occurred in the first 2 minutes of the pursuit and more than 70% of all collisions transpired before the sixth minute of the pursuit (Hill, 2002). Injuries happened in 20% of all pursuits (Dunham, et al., 1998), with third-party individuals not involved in the pursuit constituting 42% of people injured or killed in pursuits (Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2010). On average, 1 person dies every day in the United States as a result of a police pursuit (Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2010). Approximately 1% of all pursuits or 1 out of 100 high-speed pursuits resulted in a fatality (Dunham, et al., 1998 and Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2010), with 1 law enforcement officer dying every 11 weeks in a pursuit and approximately 1% of all line of duty deaths occurring in a vehicle pursuit (Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2010). Approximately 44% of pursuits resulted from a stop for a traffic violation, while 39% resulted from a felony (e.g., armed robbery, vehicular assault, stolen vehicle) (Alpert, 1997). Law enforcement personnel made the decision to terminate a pursuit in 4.7% of pursuits (Schultz, Hudak, & Alpert, 2009), while 75% of pursuits resulted in the capture of a suspect (Dunham et al., 1998). Police pursuit driving is a hazardous, but on occasion, necessary, public safety activity. This report is a review of all police pursuits performed by the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 20091. This eight-year review will serve as a baseline to determine the frequency and circumstances surrounding vehicle pursuits. This initial report does not address the impact of specific policies or procedures followed by MPD during the reporting period. This analysis will provide data to conduct future reviews of MPD policy, procedures, and training. Details: Milwaukee, WI: Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission, 2010. 11p.

Author: Gaither, Morgan Title: Pursuit Technology Impact Assessment, Version 1.1 Summary: In 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) selected two Johns Hopkins University (JHU) divisions — the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the School of Education, Division of Public Safety Leadership — for a 5-year cooperative agreement to establish a National Criminal Justice Technology Research, Test, and Evaluation Center (NIJ RT&E Center). The purpose of this center is to conduct focused RT&E activities to inform NIJ's non-forensic technology research, test and evaluation efforts. It also conducts RT&E activities to support NIJ’s efforts to inform practitioners, policymakers, and researchers regarding technologies or technology-related issues for purposes of improving criminal justice policy and practice. The activities of this center vary from year to year depending on the needs of NIJ's non-forensic technology RT&E efforts. The RT&E Center is staffed by JHU/APL and the JHU Division of Public Safety Leadership using a core management team and selected scientists and engineers who function as subject matter experts. Under NIJ Cooperative Agreement Award No. 2013-MU-CX-K111, the NIJ RT&E Center was tasked to accomplish an independent assessment of StarChase, LLC's (referred to hereafter as "StarChase") remote vehicle tracking system and its impact on vehicle pursuits and public safety. A team consisting of former law enforcement personnel, system engineers, and data analysts conducted this impact assessment. It investigates how police operations are impacted by the use of the StarChase system. This assessment relies on both quantitative data and qualitative feedback from the end-user community.
