Foot Pursuits
 |
Foot pursuits, if not initiated and conducted properly, can be dangerous for officers, bystanders, and suspected offenders. Problems relating to communication and to strategic and tactical decisions, including when officers or deputies engage in solo foot pursuits (either because they are patrolling alone or because partners are split during a chase), need to be addressed to minimize risk to all involved and to avoid unnecessary shootings or other undesired outcomes.
