Police chases are inherently dangerous and should only be used when absolutely necessary.
That's why I introduced the Law Enforcement Vehicular Pursuit Reform Act, legislation to protect the safety of residents by restricting police chases in DC.

The bill would:
ā ban police chases unless a person is suspected of violent crime, the pursuit is needed to prevent death or serious injury, and the pursuit is not likely to seriously harm anyone
ā provide guidance on when to pursue someone
ā prohibit dangerous pursuit tactics

The bill aligns with the recommendations of DCās Police Reform Commission, which found that police chases are dangerous, that MPD does not follow its own policies, and that the DC Council should reinforce restrictions through legislation.
