New policing policies in Chicago tell officers not to pursue criminals on foot for class A misdemeanors.
>Under the new policy, foot pursuits will be considered appropriate only when an officer has probable cause for an arrest or believes a suspect is committing or is about to commit a crime.
>Officers will be discouraged from foot pursuits if the issue at hand is a minor traffic offense or a criminal offense less than a Class A misdemeanor – provided that person does not pose an "obvious threat" to the community.
