Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch continued Wednesday to make sweeping changes within the NYPD — this time with dramatic shifts in the department’s vehicle pursuit policy.
Officer pursuits will now only be permitted in which suspected, serious offenders are wanted for felonies and violent misdemeanors. Traffic infractions or non-violent misdemeanors by themselves are no longer justification for officers to engage in a pursuit, the commissioner declared.
