Welcome to this page. If you serve in law enforcement, thank you for your dedication.

Retired Captain Tom Gleason says, “We need to enforce the law, but we need to enforce it in a way that we don’t cause more risk to the public we serve.”

It is expectation and belief that encourages us to trust the police. We trust the promise that law enforcement personnel and their departments are set up to protect us. We are grateful to the professional members of law enforcement who continue to strive to improve their pursuit and response-call policies. PursuitSAFETY believes pursuits should only be conducted when there is no other way to apprehend a fleeing driver who poses an imminent threat to public safety, i.e., to prevent future injuries and deaths. A life-saving policy works when it is mandatory that officers follow the policy.

Tom said, “When Brian was killed, I made a commitment to do what I could to keep any other parent from hearing the same horrible news—that would be either an officer being killed or a civilian being notified their loved one died because of an officer’s actions or non-actions.”
