Police Car Chases Up 600 Percent in NYC, Pursuit Injuries Rising in LA – New York
– https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44477538/police-chases-up-new-york-los-angeles/
Police chases might be entertaining in the movies, but they can be dangerous to people who get caught up in them. In New York City, a policy shift toward more aggressive tactics resulted in an increase in police vehicle pursuits of almost 600 percent in the first few months of 2023. Over in Los Angeles, about a quarter of the time when law enforcement vehicles give chase, someone dies or is injured. In Michigan, police pursuits have resulted in 60 deaths in the past five years.
Some of these dangerous pursuits are the consequence of quiet rules changes. According to The City, a New York City–based publication, John Chell—the new NYPD chief of patrol, who stepped into the role in December 2022—is behind the push for more enforcement, including more chases. As one unidentified NYPD official told The City, “Chell’s going out himself. On a Friday night at three in the morning, he’s out there. It’s just an aggressive tenor now that’s reckless. I’ve never seen it like this.”
