So, restrictive and no pursuit are very different. Restrictive policies limit pursuits based on speed, road conditions, officer training, and offense. I think all these factors should be considered in any pursuit situation in order to keep everyone safe. Almost every department in the country has some for of restrictive policy, some have no pursuits, but none have open policies that allow a pursuit no matter what. We live in a world obsessed with liability, so departments have tried to minimize their exposure as much as they can while still doing their job.
