Vehicle Breach
Criminal Car Arrest Protocol
In situations where a criminal's car is upside down, the police have the authority to break open the car door to arrest the criminal. This action is to be performed exclusively in cases where the car is upside down.
If the criminal is unable to exit the car, they must either:
Engage in a shootout with police,
Attempt to flee from the police,
Surrender peacefully.
In the event the criminal does not comply and exits the vehicle in any other manner, the police have the right to break the car door and use a taser on the criminal.
Exception for Stuck Vehicles
If the criminal's car is stuck in a location (e.g., in a ditch or obstructed), the police will not break the car door to arrest the criminal unless the criminal attempts to flee or resist arrest.
144 Zone Regulations
Civilians must not enter the designated 144 Zone. This is a restricted area for law enforcement and criminal activity only.
If any civilian enters the 144 Zone, the police have the right to use force, including shooting, without prior warning or argument.
Conduct towards Police Officers
It is prohibited for civilians or criminals to threaten, intimidate, or challenge the authority of police officers regarding their rules and regulations. Such behavior is considered disruptive and will be met with appropriate disciplinary actions.
Any individual found intentionally breaking this conduct may be subject to immediate arrest and further legal actions.
Pit Maneuver for Criminals
In situations where a criminal intentionally pits a police car or attempts to disable police vehicles during a pursuit, the police have full authority to use the pit maneuver to disable the criminal's vehicle and apprehend the suspect.
Breach Procedure
The pit maneuver is a high-risk tactic, and only the first lead unit is authorized to perform a tail pit. Officers must maintain proper chase formation to avoid collisions with co-officers. A 15-second time window must be given for criminals after each pit to regain control. If the pit maneuver is misused, the lead officer will be held fully responsible. Following these guidelines ensures safety and effectiveness during pursuits.
