Changing Hot Pursuit PolicyAn Empirical Assessment of the Impact on Pursuit BehaviorFlorida State University
Justice Research and Statistics Institute
Florida State University This article uses ARIMA and Tobit analysis to examine the impact on officer behavior of changes in a policy governing "hot" pursuits of fleeing suspects. Using a 2-year time series, aggregated by week, we calculated the impact on pursuit behavior of two changes in pursuit policy: a requirement that reports be submitted regarding each pursuit and a stipulation that pursuits could be conducted only under specified conditions. Each policy change produced significant reductions in the number of pursuits engaged in by officers in the department under study.
