The Vallejo Police Department recently released its first-ever vehicle pursuit analysis report, which contained a comprehensive analysis of the pursuit data that officials collected through its BlueTeam software after every vehicle pursuit in 2023.
Officials said this spike can be attributed to several factors including, most notably, the installation of Automatic License Plate Recognition camera technology in Vallejo as well as the proliferation of large sideshow street activities. Officials reported that of the 41 vehicle pursuits resulting in an accident, 24 initially appeared to be a felony offense while 11 appeared to be misdemeanor crimes and 6 appeared to be vehicle code infractions. Thirty-six of the original 41 accidents that followed a vehicle pursuit in 2023 resulted in a felony arrest, according to officials.
The analysis also found that 66 percent of the vehicle pursuits that occurred in 2023 took place between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. and the most common days for a pursuit to occur were on weekends.Crime and Public Safety |Authorities had been called 5 times this year to California home where 15-year-old boy was fatally shot by deputies
According to officials, the analysis has identified several high risk factors when weighing the benefits of continuing a pursuit, including pursuing on Saturdays and Sundays; tenure of an officer; speeding and erratic driving; if the pursuit is happening between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6 a.m.; and pursuits involving felony suspects.
