While on patrol Eastbound on Northeast 50th Street from Northeast 10th avenue, I was dispatched to a traffic complaint/hazard coming West from near the Sedgwick County line. The vehicle in question was driving East on US Highway 54 without any lights on the back half of the vehicle. Dispatch relayed to me that the vehicle only had operable headlights. After I made my way to NE 40th Avenue and traveled South, I approached the on-ramp to US Highway 54. From the overpass location, I could see the vehicle that had been called in. The only thing I was able to observe was what appeared to be headlights traveling Westward. I quickly entered the highway lanes and began my approach to the vehicle. As I attempted to quickly catch up to the vehicle, I activated my in car camera with my speed as I activated my emergency lights to facilitate stopping the traffic hazard as quickly as possible. As I crossed over the hill East of Northeast 20th Avenue, the car had stopped on the shoulder partway down. I slowed immediately and announced my traffic stop location with dispatch and exited my patrol vehicle. After making a passenger side approach, I leaned down to project my voice towards the vehicles two occupants to introduce …show more content…
She verbally acknowledged that she understood each right that she had and told me that she was willing to answer questions that I had without an attorney present. The first question I posed to who I believed was Shaylea Stallings was who the Marijuana belonged to. she replied, "that was mine". I asked where the two were travelling to and received the same destination.

On May 22, 1990 two Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies were responding to a call to break up a fight. While returning to their cars one of the officers, Murray Stapp noticed a motorcycle moving at rather high speeds. The motorcycle was being operated by 18-year-old Brian Willard and carrying a 16-year-old passenger by the name of Phillip Lewis. Neither the operator nor the passenger of the motorcycle had anything to do with the fight being responded to.

Imagine being a police officer doing your daily routine job. You are in a patrol car on the highway, watching the cars and trucks drive by. You are also looking for speeders to warn them to be more careful and maybe you’ll ticket them. It has been a very boring day for you, since you have only been called on your radio once, and it was for an accident (fender bender). Almost at the end of your shift, a blue car drives by going ninety miles an hour, but you know the speed limit is only fifty-five miles an hour. You pull the patrol car out of the gravel area that you had been sitting in and you start to follow the car. You put your lights on and catch up to them. After a few minutes you pull the person over. You get out of the car and start walking over towards the blue car. You are right about to talk to the driver and he drives off, leaving nothing but dust in your face. Now, the adrenaline is pumping in your body, but what should you do? You could call for backup or follow the blue car. Anything could happen. How far should you actually go? This is the question that will be answered in this paper. I will explain what police pursuit is and some different things officers do during a pursuit. I will also give some statistics about the fatalities that have happened in a police pursuit. I will also illustrate my opinion about how far police pursuits should go.
When formed by legislation in 1935, the Colorado State Patrol was created to “…promote safety, protect human life and preserve the highways of this state by the courteous and strict enforcement of the laws and regulations of this state relating to highways and the traffic on such highways” (CRS 24-33.5-201). Originally named the “Courtesy Patrol,” over the last 76 years the Colorado State Patrol has evolved into a comprehensive and complex law enforcement agency, without forgetting its original mission. Through the dedication to its members, both past and present, distinguished professional standards, and industry-leading technical competence, the Colorado State Patrol has stayed true to its traditions while taking on changing law enforcement challenges.

In the civil suit against Firefighter Johnson and the Portage Fire District, the prosecution was charged with providing evidence that negligence by both parties had contributed to the death of Ian Huffman and the attempted homicide of Olivia Duty. Prosecutors allege “Mr. Johnson was driving his personal vehicle as fast as 98 mph on State Rt. 19 on his way to the fire station in Oak Harbor just seconds before he crashed into the rear of Ms. Duty's car at Portage River South Road” (Feehan, 2012, para. 6). The posted speed limit on Portage River South Road was 55 mph at the time of the accident (Curt, 2012).

In the month of October 2011, two of my friends were exiting Fort Carson, Colorado, and waited at a red light. The light turned to a green arrow and they proceeded to the intersection. The driver did not see a large dump truck travelling approximately 50 miles per hour toward them until it was too late. The dump truck failed to adhere to a red light and struck my friend’s truck. The truck spun around several times and stopped in the median.
