The bill looks to make it easier for officers to engage in pursuits while still balancing the goal of increasing public safety by limiting unnecessary pursuits — which can become dangerous for police or civilians.
Around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Washington state House passed an amended version of the state Senate's police pursuit bill. One of the most contentious issues in the current legislative cycle is a law that looks to change when police are allowed to engage in a vehicle chase with a suspect. New police pursuit legislation changing this limitation has passed the House and Senate in different forms, but it seems like it’s a compromise not everyone is happy with.
Lovick was a state trooper for 31 years and was named Trooper of the Year in 1992. In addition, he served a total of 13 years in the United States Coast Guard, including time patrolling the waters off Alaska. “What I always tell people is that everything that we talk about looks great in isolation,” Lovick answered. “I want that thief stopped also, as a state trooper. I would probably want to pursue that person. But I have to look at the total picture. We just didn’t have the support on both sides of the aisle, at least on my side of the aisle to pursue a stolen vehicle. Those are just the facts.
