police chase
Cruiser following suspect
A police chase is a pursuit in which law enforcement officers follow a fleeing suspect, typically in vehicles at high speed.
These pursuits often begin after a traffic stop or when a suspect attempts to evade arrest, and they carry significant risks to officers, suspects, and bystanders.
Police chases are a staple of television news coverage and action films.
The police chase ended when the suspect's car ran out of gas.
