PURSUIT POLICY

Welcome to this useful guide for Deputy Sheriff Generalists and Deputies, as well for the public that is wishing to learn more about the Pursuit Policy. This policy will be used in the future by everyonewhom is serving the San Andreas Sheriff's Department.

Regulations;

• In emergency situations, the individual driving an emergency vehicle is exempt from the rules of the road - This authorization does not mean that you shouldn't care for the public's safety. Always take note of the pedestrians and fellow motorists.
• When responding to an emergency or participating in a pursuit that is located in a highly populated area, lights and sirens shall be used..
• The PIT maneuver is only advised to be used in low populated areas, never PIT a suspect in areas such as Idlewood, as you risk the lives of pedestrians when doing so.
• Whenever you're in a pursuit, you're required to stay observational and pay good attention to your surroundings.
• Do not overtake in a pursuit and keep the formation as a STRAIGHT LINE. If you ever need to overtake another cruiser, advise them over your radio.
• Never ram a suspects' vehicle directly as you're causing unnecessary damage to the cruiser, as well as endangering the life of you and your partner.
•You are allowed to Drive-by / open fire on the vehicle ONLY if :
- Suspect’s vehicle is faster than PD vehicle.
- Suspects are opening fire towards civilians or law enforcers.
- Suspect is on foot and firing on law enforcers or civilians and you have no time to exit the vehicle.

When initiating the pursuit;

To circumvent the likelihood of a pursuit starting, Deputies are advised to be as close to the suspect when attempting to pull them over

Consideration when pursuing a fleeing vehicle;

Law Enforcement Officers pursuing a fleeing vehicle has to put a lot of seriousness and consideration of the potential damage against themselves or the community. It is important to consider the following factors when pursuing a vehicle;
• Whether it's reasonable to risk the lives of the pedestrians, pursuing officers and occupants in the fleeing vehicle.
• If the speed of the fleeing vehicle is unreasonable compromised with the safety of the pedestrians and community.
• The traffic conditions which includes the following; Vehicle density, pedestrian density and road conditions.
• General density of the area where the pursuit is taking place.
• Whether the suspect can be apprehended at a later time; if yes, conclude the pursuit and apprehend the suspect later. This may only be done if the road conditions and area density is too bad - And only if the suspect can be found later on.
• The seriousness of the crime related to the publics' safety.

Tracking a vehicle;

Read regulations. Deputies are never allowed to break the rules of the road in a pursuit, it of course depends on the code of the pursuit. If Code 3 deputies are exempt from the road laws, but still need to proceed with caution.

Air-response and their duties in a pursuit;

Whenever you're in a pursuit with a vehicle exceeding the speed of the standard cruiser, it's advised to request air-support. When air-support arrived it's duty is to keep track of the vehicle and cruisers may resume their Code 3 response, but with slightly reduced speed. The air-support unit shall also advise ground units in tracking and interfering routes.

General tactics when pursuing a vehicle;

During the pursuit officers are required to pay attention to their surroundings and actions of the pursuing vehicle, thereafter change tactic or position. When a pursuit is happening, the whole department is not needed to apprehend the suspect, and the pursuit is only for the primary, secondary and supervising unit. Other patrol units shall stay alert on the location and status of the pursuit, and await further back-up requests. It is also required to stay in a straight-line formation when pursuing the vehicle.

Spin-outs;

If a unit collides or spin-out resulting in a temporarily immobilization the unit shall no rejoin the pursuit. Instead, remain stationary and let other cruisers pass by, once it's safe you can rejoin the pursuit.

When a suspect is lost;

Whenever a suspect is lost the primary unit or supervising unit of the pursuit, shall immediately issue a BOLO .


Vehicle intervention techniques

PIT(Pursuit Intervention Technique);

This is the method that is used primarily by the cruisers. The PIT technique is when the Deputy swerves his vehicle in front of the suspect's vehicle, causing it to spin out and stop completely. Read over the regulations before using the PIT maneuver.

Box;

The box maneuver is designed to decline suspects' their opportunity to continue the pursuit. The box technique may be used whenever the suspects' vehicle has come to a complete stop momentarily.

DIVISIONS

Recruitment Division

The Recruitment Division is responsible for many different things. Recruitment Deputies will firstly review applications, and then accept/deny them. If accepted, they'll also be responsible for setting up an interview, and then judge them to see if they're qualified for the Deputy Academy. The Recruitment Divisions have close relations to the Training Divisions, in order to coordinate trainings for the final academy.

Training Division

The Training Division has a very important assignment in the San Andreas Sheriff's Department. Their job is to train the accepted applicants and see if they're qualified enough. The training division will also be holding weekly trainings for Deputies. The Division is also in charge of the final academy.

PROCEDURES DURRING ARREST

Once you have detained a suspect, it's important that you talk to him/her to ensure that they know why they are being arrested. Before you are detaining a suspect, or if you are about to interrogate him/her on scene or at the station, it's important that you read them their Miranda Rights out loud.
It's important to make sure that the detained suspect is aware of their rights, and understand them fully. When you are about to book the suspect, make sure that he/her is frisked and that you have run a background check on them.
