U.S. authorities at the southern border are being given updated guidelines on the pursuit of criminal suspects after a number of fatal vehicle accidents.
The Texas Department of Public Safety caught a driver who led a trooper on a high-speed chase in Val Verde County.
"Any vehicle pursuit that is reasonably believed to be destined for a foreign country shall be communicated to the appropriate foreign agencies through established local standard operating procedures," the policy states. "Officers/Agents must operate CBP emergency equipped vehicles in a reasonable and prudent manner and are responsible for continually evaluating and balancing that the law enforcement benefit of, and need for, emergency driving outweighs the immediate and potential danger created by such emergency driving."The updated guidelines are a response to a rise in vehicular accidents — some fatal — occurring in the pursuit of suspects by law enforcement.
"As a professional law enforcement organization, CBP is continually updating policies to reflect best practices, public safety needs and evolving public expectations," said Acting Commissioner Troy Miller."The safety of officers, agents and the public are paramount as we carry out our mission."
