Pursuit policies are trending again. It's a tricky one to be sure. @PoliceForum recently recommended that agencies only permit pursuits when there is evidence of a violent crime *and* failure to immediately apprehend would pose an imminent threat to public safety.

On October 1, 1993, the Charlotte Police Department and the Mecklenburg County Police Department merged to form @CMPD. This week we’re celebrating 30 years of combined agencies and I’m nostalgic thinking back to when I started my career with the Charlotte Police Department.

“There's a reason why police officers are getting killed at a higher rate... the AR-15... if you're not going to get rid of them, if you're not going to ban them, at least raise the age to 21.” – Former TX Police Chief Art Acevedo npr.org/2022/06/08/110365295…

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act will help keep communities safe while protecting Constitutional rights and due process. While this bill is a crucial first step, it cannot mark the end of Congressional efforts to address gun violence.
