'24' Actor Glenn Morshower on public safety & police chases
"It has everything to do with risk versus reward. In many cases, where the suspect poses no immediate danger to the public, it's the chase itself that causes the threat. This is not an anti-police campaign. I am a huge supporter of what it is police do. I just believe policy and procedure are there for a reason and need to be followed." Learn about Glenn's work on our public awareness campaign: "Acting on Pursuits," and why he became involved in PursuitSAFETY, a national nonprofit organization working for safer ways to protect the innocent. |

Kristie's Law
Deadly Pursuit
Kristie's Law is a proposed measure first introduced to the California state legislature in 2003. It directly and pro-actively addresses safety standards to minimize the risk relating to police vehicular pursuits for the public and peace officers. Kristie's Law will create standards to ensure police pursuits are conducted in a response to an immediate threat to life or a violent crime. Another life-saving factor is to require officers to follow their own agency's pursuit policy.
California State Senator Sam Aanestad, R-Grass Valley is the author of Kristie's Law.
Worldwide, advocates for Kristie's Law believe in law and order. People who break the law, no matter what the crime, need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Advocates believe the penalty for fleeing and eluding should be mandatory prison time.
"The Police Chief," The Professional Voice of Law Enforcement, published an article with this quote: "Abandoning the pursuit does not mean the officer stops apprehension efforts; rather, the officer initiates other resources to bring about the apprehension." Archived Viewpoints |
