Police Vehicular Pursuits: An Overview of Research and Legal Conceptualizations for Police Administrators

Wendy L. Hicks

MacMurray College

Research into the realm of police pursuits is fraught with many complex, often conflicting methodologies and ending results. Some projects have indicated police pursuits to be highly dangerous and in need of better supervisory and administrative control. Others maintain that pursuits are not as dangerous as previously believed and are, therefore, an integral and necessary component of police duties. Struggling to come to terms with the many intricate scholarly research endeavors in this area, along with the variety of legal decisions so often occurring as a result of a pursuit gone awry, is the police administrator. Ultimately, it remains the responsibility of the policy writers and administrators to devise effective, efficient policy with regard to police vehicular pursuits. Only through improving written policy will negative outcomes of police pursuits such as accidents, injuries, fatalities, and litigation wane.

Key Words: police • pursuit • police administration • police policy • liability
