The president of the association that represents hundreds of police officers in the Halifax Regional Municipality says individual officers decide whether to pursue suspects following a high-speed chase that tore through a residential area in Fleming Heights, N.S., on Sunday.

Halifax Regional Police Chief Dan Kinsella told the Halifax Board of Police Commissioners the escalating gun violence around the city "keeps me awake at night."
