South Salt Lake Police Detail Updated Vehicle Pursuit Policy and Training

The South Salt Lake Police Department presented an updated vehicle pursuit policy to the civilian review board. Sergeant McDonald explained the policy's evolution, current restrictions, and the criteria for initiating a pursuit, which now hinges on the need to apprehend outweighing the risk to the public [cite: 63-164]. The presentation covered various pursuit intervention techniques, the roles of different units, and the importance of training, including emergency vehicle operations (EVO) and commentary driving [cite: 108-116, 165-220, 246-256, 440-488]. The policy was updated approximately a year ago [cite: 145-146].
