Book Description
Penal Code Section 13519.8 requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to establish guidelines and training for law enforcement's response to vehicle pursuits. This publication presents the guidelines and specifications for basic, in-service, management and executive training. The guidelines and associated discussion present information that may be important for law enforcement executives to consider when addressing the broad range of issues that are related to vehicle pursuits. The guidelines do not constitute a pursuit policy, nor are they intended to establish a standard for any agency. The Commission intends these guidelines to provide a resource for each executive to use in the creation of a specific policy the agency will adopt that reflects the needs of the agency and the jurisdiction it serves, and contemporary law.
