Some Cleveland City Council members are asking why police officers are not chasing after more suspects.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - But the police chief disagrees and wants to set the record straight.“Right now, word on the street with young people-- is that the police aren’t going to do anything to you. They’re not going to do nothing to you [sic]. They will see the situation and they won’t chase the crime,” said Council member Joe Jones at a recent public safety meeting.
It was put in place in 2015 when the city and U.S. Department of Justice entered into a consent decree. The policy also states “the immediate danger of the pursuit must be less than the immediate or potential danger to the public if the suspect remains at large.”Chief Wayne Drummond said the city is currently in talks with the federal monitoring team to potentially modify the current policy so that officers will be allowed to chase in more situations.
“I don’t expect my officers, even in those circumstances, to be chasing after someone at 5 in the afternoon down West 25th in Tremont when it’s extremely crowded, doing 90, 100 miles per hour ‘cause I think that’s irresponsible regardless of what the crime is for, at least at that particular time,” Drummond said.
