While we understand wanting to keep police from going overboard in chases, some policies go too far. We’ve seen it in places like Seattle, and it’s a problem in Milwaukee too, where a report has exposed deficiencies in the department’s pursuit practices.

Overly restrictive pursuit rules can embolden fleeing suspects and undermine public safety. The report points to the difficult balance departments must strike, suggesting Milwaukee’s current approach leaves significant gaps.
