5-09/210.08 - Pursuit Re-Engagement



The watch commander maintains the authority to order units to re-engage in a pursuit that has been terminated or has progressed into surveillance mode if, information develops that the suspect’s criminal threat has elevated or their dangerous driving continues, and the public’s best interests would be served by re-engaging in the pursuit.  This shall be considered on a case-by-case basis, with the decision of whether or not to re-engage focused on reasonable efforts to increase public safety.
