For decades and still today, the innocent killed due to crashes from police chases and first-responder calls are considered "accident victims" and/or "acceptable collateral damage." Families of pursuit victims quickly learn that their children, siblings, spouses, parents, and grandparents don't even count. This statement is also true about many car crash victims.

Safer ways to catch drivers who flee: Good detective work, arrest warrants, apprehend a suspect before they approach or are in a car, auto trap—a proven strategy to eliminate chases for stolen cars that did not involve violence toward a civilian—and tracking the "good old" license plate number. We also know there's a vast amount of technology to give us reason for more hope. But, what do we do now to save the people important to you—the people you love?

Here's a safe place where innocent victims and families of victims can share. This forum is meant to connect people to other people who have experienced a death or permanent injury due to a crash resulting from a police chase or first-responder call.
