This study contains research on the impact of intervention technology on police vehicle pursuits by the year 2002. Information is presented in a journal article and a technical report.

Abstract

The study contains four segments: (1) data collection and analysis in which trends and events are identified and scenarios are developed; (2) a strategic plan which incorporates alternative policies which will help achieve the desired future; (3) a transition plan to manage the proposed change; and (4) summary and conclusions. The results of this study indicate that alternative funding sources must be identified and partnerships developed between the public sector and private industry if future technologies are to be available to law enforcement.
