Review police pursuit rules to ensure proportionality and safety

We believe police pursuits can pose high risks of serious injury/death to drivers, passengers bystanders. We think the police have a duty to prioritise the preservation of life. A review should investigate whether rules on police pursuits reflect this duty of care and commitment to public safety.

We believe that fatalities, including among children, are alarming and devastating communities. The review should consider matters such as the prohibition of police pursuit use in response to non-violent offences and minor traffic offences; and mandatory camera activation. The review should consider what steps may be necessary to reduce casualties, especially among children.
