Project summary
The aims of this project were to understand the nature of vehicle pursuits within London and identify appropriate responses in respect of skills, training, pursuit management and resilience.
This was achieved through a comprehensive review of existing research and studies involving pursuits and risk management and assessment of training guidance in respect of risk. Qualitative interviews were held with those involved in pursuits, policymakers and investigators. Training was delivered for risk assessment strategies and contingency plans.
