A good question by Bubba about pursuit policy was met by a less than adequate answer. Of course every pursuit is based on judgement, but that’s not a policy. A policy would include (for instance) top allowed speed..can an officer exceed 100mph? Some reasonable guidelines need to be in place if they aren’t currently.

Not sure what my experience has to do with anything…. having basic pursuit policies is place creates expectations for officers and protects the public safety & county liability. The fact that the leader of the department gives a vague “it all depends” answer is a little concerning.
