NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk City Council held a session Tuesday to discuss numerous matters, including the return of police chases for stolen vehicles.
Norfolk s current policy says chases are prohibited unless there is an immediate need to apprehend a suspect which outweighs the inherent risk of the pursuit. Council members brought up a resolution about an expansion of allowed police pursuits.
According to council members, Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone has brought up the return for some high-speed chases after a recent uptick in vehicle thefts. Mayor Kenny Alexander says Chief Boone s logic is that these stolen cars tend to have stolen guns in them and says recovering them will help keep the public safe.
