Police Interventions

Also select “Other” if any other non-listed police intervention(s) was utilized. Select “None” if no interventions were attempted or employed. See a further definition of the selections below:

• Channelization – An induce to stop technique used in the anticipated path of the pursued vehicle using a moving or stationary police vehicle to restrict the number of routes available to a pursued vehicle.

• Firearm – Law enforcement discharge of a firearm during an active pursuit.

• Stationary Roadblock – No Escape Route – A force to stop technique where the roadway is completely blocked with no alternative route provided using any stationary method, restriction or obstruction utilized or intended for the purpose of preventing free passage of vehicles on a highway to effect the apprehension of an actual or suspected violator in a vehicle.

• Stationary Roadblock – With Escape Route – An induce to stop technique where an alternative route is provided using any stationary method, restriction or obstruction utilized or intended for the purpose of preventing free passage of vehicles on a highway to effect the apprehension of an actual or suspected violator in a vehicle.

• Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) – The intentional act of using a police vehicle to physically force a pursued vehicle from a course of travel in order to impede further progress and stop it. PIT is a specific technical maneuver that requires advanced practical training prior to use. The PIT is a Protective Alternative (at speeds of 35 mph or less) or Deadly Force (at speeds over 35 mph) in the Intervention Options on the Emergency Vehicle Operation/Vehicle Contacts Disturbance Resolution Model. While PIT is a form of ramming, only select the “Ramming” if intentional vehicle contact other than this specific technique was employed.

• Ramming – A force to stop method involving intentional contact of a law enforcement vehicle with another vehicle. Choose “Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT)” instead, if that specific technique was used.

• Remote Vehicle Disabling System – A system that provides an authorized user at a remote location with the ability to prevent an engine from starting, prevent movement of a vehicle, or to stop or slow an operating vehicle. (OnStar etc.)

• Moving Roadblock – Box In Maneuver – Any use of a moving vehicle, utilized or intended for the purpose of preventing free passage of a vehicle to effect the apprehension of an actual or suspected violator in a vehicle.

• Tire Deflation Device (TDD) – An induce to stop technique. A TDD is a tool designed to stop a vehicle by deflating pneumatic tires (tube or tubeless type). TDDs are generally constructed of hollow metal spikes mounted in a device that holds them in an upright position. The device is laid across the path of a target vehicle. When the vehicle passes over them, the hollow spikes penetrate the tire and are designed to pull free from the base. The tires then deflate at a moderate rate.

• Deployed Tracking Device – A GPS type tracking device deployed by law enforcement during the pursuit allowing for the location of the pursued vehicle to be tracked. (StarChase systems etc.)

• Other Tracking Device – Use of an existing tracking device or other location technology, other than air support, to track the location of the pursued vehicle. (onboard GPS device, automatic vehicle location system, cell phone tracking etc.)

• None

• Other – Any pursuit intervention not otherwise listed that was attempted or employed during the active vehicle pursuit. This selection will open the “Pursuit Intervention Other” field and require a manual entry.
