Seattle police shared bodycam footage of officers effectively deploying tire-deflation devices on a suspect’s vehicle. The suspect, who was passed out in an SUV, woke when officers approached and tried to flee, but the devices ensured he didn’t get far.

Stopping a vehicle before a chase begins reduces danger for everyone. The successful use of the tire devices demonstrates how the right tools can prevent a pursuit from ever spiraling into a high-speed risk to the public.
