Officers chasing suspect
A police pursuit is a chase in which officers follow a fleeing suspect, typically in vehicles.
High-speed pursuits raise safety concerns for bystanders, leading some departments to restrict when officers may engage: The suspect crashed during a police pursuit on the interstate.
