Definición

  • A police pursuit occurs when an officer attempts to apprehend a motor vehicle operator suspected of a violation by ordering the suspect to halt through the use of emergency equipment (lights and sirens) and the suspect instead flees or takes other evasive action. In the course of flight, the suspect's driving is likely to become erratic and dangerous. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Police Pursuits]
