    Don't Believe the Hype

    It would seem as though the hype of our nation's televised vehicle chases has glamourized the idea of not only chasing, but more importantly and disturbingly, the fleeing of hardened and sometimes novice criminals. These chases happen all the time and rarely end with positive results. More often than not, somebody gets hurt or killed and it is often the un-suspecting citizen who ends up the victim. Don't believe the hype. It is not all what you think it is unless you arre a cop and have been behind the wheel during a chase. Tunnel vision, audible sensory deprivation and a whole lot of other physiological effects take place, all the while we are to maintain continuous communications with dispatch, our fellow officers and keep the damn car on the road...lot's to think about...Next time, change the channel. If the bad guy thinks that nobody is watching then perhaps he will think twice about fleeing.

    Chasing

    Well said my friend. Spoken like somebody who has some experience. Nothing is more dangerous in our business then when we are in our vehicles, and it becomes many times more dangerous when we are chasing. Keep both hands on the wheel and remember that there are people at home who are waiting for our return.

    Be Safe.
