Police training.A.     No later than December 31, 2004, the New Mexico law enforcement academy board shall develop and incorporate into the basic law enforcement training required pursuant to the Law Enforcement Training Act [29-7-1 NMSA 1978] a course of instruction of at least sixteen hours concerning the safe initiation and conduct of high speed pursuits.   

B.     The course of instruction shall emphasize the importance of protecting the public at all times and the need to balance the known offense and risk posed by a fleeing suspect against the danger to law enforcement officers and other people by initiating a high speed pursuit.

Page 8: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Pursuit Tactics

ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH TRAINING/POLICY

 BENEFIT MUST OUTWEIGH RISK

 MUST HAVE CLEAR COMPELLING REASON TO BEGIN & CONTINUE

Page 9: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Pursuit Position

When possible, offset your vehicle 2-3 feet left of suspect vehicle and 5-7 car lengths behind.

Provides oncoming motorists a better view of your emergency equipment and gives you a better view of suspect vehicle.

Page 10: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Pitfalls of Pursuit

1. Personal Challenge2.  Don’t notify dispatcher3.  Ignore pursuit policy4. Invincibility syndrome

Page 11: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Tracking the Violator

Remember – who is the trained driver?

Don’t allow yourself to follow this driver no matter how he chooses to drive. Emotions will be high and it will be tempting. Don’t let it happen.

Page 12: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Your advantages while in pursuit

1.   You are the good guy (Psychological)2.   You are not impaired (Alcohol/Drugs)3.   You are familiar with area (Probably better than suspect)4.   Your vehicle is designed for pursuit (Police package)5.   You have communication (Radio)6.   You have emergency equipment (Light/siren)7.   You have assistance (Officers/Dispatch/Supervisors)8.   You have guidelines to follow (Department policy/State

Statute)9.   You are a trained emergency vehicle operator

Attitude/Knowledge/Skill)

Page 13: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

1. Emergency vehicle operation is one of the most litigated areas of law enforcement.

 a) As an officer you must understand

the legal risks associated with emergency vehicle

operation. 

Page 14: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

2. If you are named as a defendant in an E.V.O. lawsuit that involves injury, the plaintiff will attempt to prove you were in some way liable.

  a) If it is determined that you were liable the plaintiff will be

entitled to compensation.  b) Simply stated, this means you did

or did not do something that resulted in the plaintiff’s injury.

Page 15: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

3. What establishes officer liability? 

a) Careless  b) Reckless  c) Endangering  d) Foreseeable  e) Underlying cause

Page 16: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

4. There are two types of direct liability: negligence and willful misconduct.a) Negligence is determined by what

would be considered reasonable under the circumstances.

  1) Your department policies and procedures are based on

reasonableness.

Page 17: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Factors that would determine degrees of negligence are:

 (1) Type of emergency

  (2) Vehicle speed  (3) Weather  (4) Traffic density  (5) Presence of pedestrians

Page 18: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

Gross negligence would be conduct or behavior that was so extreme; “Shock the Conscious” that you should have known an injury was likely to occur.

 

Page 19: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

Willful misconduct, the other form of direct liability, differs from negligence because it involves a conscious decision or intent to engage in injury causing behavior.

 1) The punishment in cases of willful

misconduct is usually rewarding the plaintiff additional money in the form of punitive damages.

Page 20: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Legal Aspects

Due Regard ConsiderationsWould a properly trained reasonable

officer, doing similar duties, do it the same way you did?

Was your action necessary?Did you give enough notice?Where your intentions made clear?

Page 21: NM Safe Pursuit Act

Emergency

Emergency is a situation in which there is a high probability of death or serious injury to an individual, or significant property loss and action by an emergency vehicle operator may reduce the seriousness of the situation.

Page 22: NM Safe Pursuit Act

How to protect yourself from liability

(a) Department approved Pursuit Policy

(b) Adherence to Pursuit Policy (c) Adherence to all laws related to

Emergency Vehicle Operations (d) Maintain total control of emergency

vehicle at all times(e) Diligently attempt to protect the safety

of all parties involved
