guys and this is new and fresh okay so the information is going to be coming uh the video that I'm going to be showing you it's from credit goes to NBC 7 San Diego okay uh with uh Alex Rivier is the um person that would be she's the [Music] reporter okay and I just want to make sure everyone knows it is a trigger warning all right here we go guys I'm going to go ahead and uh oh let me just started from the very beginning here we go so in our reporting Chief wal clearly said that the officers inside the engulfed Cruisers did not start the high-speed chase but we know the suspects slammed into them just seconds after a supervisor had called that chase off n bc7 investigates reporter Alexis Rivas has been reading through the police department's policy on car chases and joins us now with some perspective on that Alexis yeah so look when it comes to last night's deadly crash there are still just too many details missing about how that police cruiser wound up in the path of the suspect's car but here's what we were able to dig up by the department policy so once a field supervisor orders officers to stop chasing a car that's immediate not only must officers fully abandon any Chase they're also not supposed to Trail or even follow the suspect but officers don't have to wait for a supervisor to stop chasing at all times it's the officers behind the wheel that are responsible for ending it if they feel it's just too dangerous they should continually evaluate the risk of death injury or property damage and balance all of that risk with the seriousness of the suspected crime police are not allowed to drive on the wrong side of a divided Road and that's with very few exceptions and generally officers cannot use their cars to box in Ram or bump a suspect's car unless they have supervisor approval and an officer can only deploy Stop Sticks if dispatchers know about it and can relay their location so when can police start a Chase in the first place in San Diego an officer just needs probable cause that a driver or a passenger committed an infraction a misdemeanor or felony and that's where San Diego's policy really differs from other cities in places like Dallas Philly and Phoenix for example police can't chase suspects for misdemeanors but here in San Diego officers can chase drivers for things as minor as a traffic ticket and the police chief said that's how last night's Chase began failure to yield to a traffic ticket for a speeding scpd's policy explicitly States officers should not assume everybody who flees from police or refuses to is a serious criminal suspect often it says ending a Chase is the most appropriate decision back to you Mark and Katherine Alexis thank you and San Diego's Pursuit policy you might remember this it recently came under scrutiny after a high-speed chase ended with the death of two young bystanders among a list of changes recommended by the city's independent police review commission prohibit all car chases except for those involving violent felonies it's never been e thank you guys uh that was the uh first video that I wanted to show you since uh they was going into the um the chase policy when a police officer can chase uh saw a Chase of a suspect in another car so um now we're going to look at it [Music] from uh another lens okay okay just give me one second oh this video here um let me just get it up so you all can see it and this is them um they're holding a a conference police conference okay I'm just trying to make sure I get it and this uh information here is coming from NBC News okay NBC News and remember all the information from each video will be down in my description okay it will be down in the description if you want to uh follow up on it or see or rehear it or
