Real police pursuits happen every single day!

We'll update this page regularly. We use Google web bots to search newspapers and the Internet to find stories and links. Some
pursuits are certainly necessary, but many truly are not. The links below are just random samples from these internet searches.

We track the news every day to understand how this issue impacts families across the world. It's amazing, frightening and often
disheartening. Read a few, because in many cases another innocent person was victimized, hurt or killed.

You can help fight unnecessary pursuits by joining our cause at PursuitSAFETY.org. Visit today to learn more.
