In plain language

The bill sets standards for D.C. law enforcement's vehicular pursuits of suspects.

This bill establishes new guidelines for when D.C. law enforcement officers can pursue suspects in vehicles. It requires officers to assess the risks before engaging in a pursuit.

Summary

District of Columbia Policing Protection ActThis bill repeals restrictions on the circumstances under which law enforcement officers in the District of Columbia (DC) may engage in vehicular pursuits (i.e., police chases) of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles, and instead generally requires such pursuits in the absence of other means of apprehension.Currently, pursuant to DC's Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, law enforcement officers generally may not engage in vehicular pursuits of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles unless the officer reasonably believes (1) the suspect was involved in a crime of violence or poses an immediate and serious threat to another person, (2) the pursuit is necessary to prevent that threat and is not likely to result in death or serious injury to any person, and (3) all other options have been exhausted or are unreasonable given the circumstances.The bill repeals these restrictions and instead requires law enforcement officers to engage in vehicular pursuits of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles unless the officer or a higher-ranking officer reasonably believes that (1) such pursuit would be futile, (2) the pursuit would entail an unacceptable risk of harm to a person other than the suspect, or (3) the suspect can be apprehended more effectively or expeditiously by other means.The bill also requires the Department of Justice to report to Congress on the costs and benefits of DC’s Metropolitan Police Department adopting technology that alerts the public of an active police pursuit in their immediate vicinity.

This bill modifies the standards for law enforcement vehicular pursuits in the District of Columbia.

  • D.C. Law 24-345 sec. 5-365.02

    subsections (a), (b), and (c) → If a law enforcement officer encounters a suspect fleeing in a motor vehicle, the officer may engage in a vehicular pursuit of the suspect unless the officer, or a higher-ranking official with supervisory authority over the officer, reasonably believes that-- (1) vehicular pursuit would-- (A) entail an unacceptable risk of harm to a person other than the suspect; or (B) be futile; or (2) the suspect can be apprehended more effectively or expeditiously by a means other than vehicular pursuit.

    This establishes new conditions under which officers may engage in vehicular pursuits, focusing on risk assessment.

  • D.C. Law 24-345 sec. 5-365.01

    paragraphs (1) through (5)

    The bill removes previously existing paragraphs that likely outlined prior limitations.

  • D.C. Law 24-345 sec. 5-365.01

    paragraphs (8) through (11)

    This removes additional prior limitations on vehicular pursuits.

  • D.C. Law 24-345 sec. 5-365.01

    the term does not include a sworn federal law enforcement officer of a covered federal law enforcement agency → , except that such term does not include a sworn federal law enforcement officer of a covered federal law enforcement agency as defined in section 11712(d) of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 (sec. 5-133.17(d), D.C. Official Code).

    This clarifies that certain federal officers are excluded from the term being defined.

  • D.C. Law 24-345

    SUBTITLE S. USE OF VEHICULAR PURSUITS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

    This changes the subtitle from limitations to use of vehicular pursuits.

Frequently asked questions

What does HR 5143 do?
District of Columbia Policing Protection ActThis bill repeals restrictions on the circumstances under which law enforcement officers in the District of Columbia (DC) may engage in vehicular pursuits (i.e., police chases) of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles, and instead generally requires such pursuits in the absence of other means of apprehension.Currently, pursuant to DC's Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, law enforcement officers generally may not engage in vehicular pursuits of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles unless the officer reasonably believes (1) the suspect was involved in a crime of violence or poses an immediate and serious threat to another person, (2) the pursuit is necessary to prevent that threat and is not likely to result in death or serious injury to any person, and (3) all other options have been exhausted or are unreasonable given the circumstances.The bill repeals these restrictions and instead requires law enforcement officers to engage in vehicular pursuits of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles unless the officer or a higher-ranking officer reasonably believes that (1) such pursuit would be futile, (2) the pursuit would entail an unacceptable risk of harm to a person other than the suspect, or (3) the suspect can be apprehended more effectively or expeditiously by other means.The bill also requires the Department of Justice to report to Congress on the costs and benefits of DC’s Metropolitan Police Department adopting technology that alerts the public of an active police pursuit in their immediate vicinity.
