Small-Town Police Chief Personally Pits A Fleeing Challenger

At many large agencies, officers above a certain rank are expected to leave PIT maneuvers and firearm use to subordinates. That’s clearly not the rule at Hazen Police in Arkansas, a tiny department serving fewer than 2,000 residents, where the chief himself pitted a fleeing Dodge Challenger.

In small towns, leadership often means staying directly involved in the action. The chief’s hands-on takedown reflects a different operating reality than big-city departments, where rank typically distances officials from such high-risk maneuvers.
