VII. Pursuits

Pursuit Tactics
This is some information that can be extremely useful in vehicle pursuits. These tips won't make you a pursuit god, but they will provide useful information that can hopefully be used and applied to the real world. Communicate is key in pursuits, probably more-so than the actual driving, which is why it will be explained thoroughly in this section.

Introducing the Pursuit
The introduction to the pursuit is the most important part of communication. You must be sure that you have all of the necessary information, else you will "um", "ar", and stutter. That can possibly confuse responding units. Information sent over the radio should be as clear as possible.

Necessary Details
1. Vehicle Model (ie. Sultan, Esperanto, Rancher)
2. Passengers (Total & ethnicity if known, status of any if they are personally known. ie Wanted.)
3. Vehicle Color
4. Direction of Pursuit (ie. Westbound.)
5. Units required. (ie. Two units.)
6. Reason for pursuit. (ie. Attempted murder and fleeing the scene.)
7. Vehicle Speed (Approximated. ie. 60MPH.)
8. Next landmark (ie. "St Lawrence Boulevard North toward Vinewood 24/7.)

An example of how this would be announced in a broadcast is as follows.

Agent Smith to Central, Vehicle Pursuit (10-80), Northbound on St Lawrence Boulevard toward Vinewood 24/7 (10-20). Vehicle is a Red Sultan, 2 black male occupants, one white male, I require aerial assistance, this is a most wanted suspect on charges of First Degree Murder, Vehicle is continuing north at approximately 90 Mph.

There is a reason why the details are given in that order. You start with notifying a vehicle pursuit, this is a sign for all other transmissions to stop as yours takes priority, you then give a location so that all units are able to re-route. What they are going there for is unimportant at that point, a location is more important. Vehicle is then given so that upon arrival the units know what to go for along with the people inside. You then declare the vehicles you request on the pursuit, any units who are not needed will simply drop their siren and return to patrol.

The option is also then there that the units that stand off to patrol can concentrate patrol to that area. If the pursuit passes by them then obviously they will join. The crime of the suspect is then given so that caution can be applied as necessary followed by a reiteration of direction and speed.

Update of Location
The Lead Vehicle should have constant sporadic transmissions, not one giant one that runs on forever. It becomes very tedious for any assisting units to listen to one person gargling on for several minutes and they will begin to lose concentration. Your transmissions should be brief and direct. No unnecessary speaking should be in there.

When you change directions, instead of stating the compass direction, instead state left, right or straight forward. Compass direction updates should be issued every 30 seconds to minute so that any units approaching know which direction to head in.

Contact with the Vehicle
Contact with the vehicle is one way of stopping it, another is just chasing it until it get's bored and eventually stops. Be very careful with contact because it can go disastrously wrong and end up in you losing the vehicle or putting yourself in a lot of danger. Look at how many units you have available and the speeds that they are traveling at.

PIT Maneuver
PIT maneuver is always the first option given. It is done when the pursuit vehicle comes up behind the target vehicle and smashes in the back half of the vehicle. If the vehicle is not extremely tall, it should work most the time. The PIT will send the vehicle spinning out of control and into a complete stop. If traveling at high speeds, or if the vehicle is top-heavy, it could possibly flip and injure the suspect inside.

Box Maneuver
The box maneuver is also an effective way to stop a vehicle while minimizing casualties. If two pursuit vehicles are present, it can be performed by one pursuit vehicle going in front of the target vehicle. The front pursuit vehicle then needs to stop abruptly, preferably facing perpendicular to the direction that the target vehicle is traveling. That way, if the target vehicle turns, the front target vehicle either goes forward or backwards to stay in front of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the back target vehicle needs to tail-gate the target vehicle so it cannot backup anymore. If done correctly, the target vehicle will have nowhere to go. This severely minimizes casualties as it doesn't run the risk of flipping cars like the PIT maneuver does.

IX. Miranda Rights

The Miranda Rights are a warning that is required to be given to detained criminals by a Law Enforcement Officer before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights. This is the rights as spoken by members of the Law Enforcements, LSPD and FBI.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed. Do you understand these rights as I have read them?"

If the Miranda Rights are not read to someone whom has been detained or arrested, the arrest is considered void and will not be completed in the court of law. The subject may be released at once if the rights were not read.


X. Radio Codes

In the FBI, you do not have to use the codes, but you have to read the codes so you can communicate with the Enforcement Departments.
You may use these codes to communicate with the FBI Agents over the FBI Radio ((/r)) or to communicate with the Law Enforcement Departments over the Department Radio ((/d)).
