It is a fair question how a motorcycle officer handles a suspect who refuses to stop, since a bike cannot perform a PIT maneuver on a car, truck, or SUV, and likely not even on another motorcycle. The tactics available to a motorcycle cop differ sharply from those of a patrol car.

Footage of one such pursuit offers a glimpse into how these officers manage the challenge. Relying on positioning, persistence, and coordination rather than brute force, the motorcycle cop demonstrates that ending a chase does not always require ramming anything at all.
