I had this policeman friend who killed a man

22. Moral of the story

you might be able to out run the car but you can not get away from the radio.

Follow close enough to report when suspect is turn and other info.

Dispatch can pre-stage others including get out the tire spikes.

An office in a close town, back when I was with regional 911, nearly lost his life
playing "John Wayne".
Started pursuit of of vehicle on traffic stop [tail light if I remember], then fled, he followed.
Ended up in the "less desirable" side of town, suspect pulled in a drive when followed by office.
They jumped so did he and he to a 357 in the inner thigh just missing the artery.

Problem: he never notified dispatch where they were going and he nearly lost his life.
