History

Historical Context

In June 1994, the televised O.J. Simpson white-Bronco pursuit drew about 95 million viewers and sparked criticism of high-speed chases. The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Janet Reno, issued the National Pursuit Policy that year, adopted by roughly 1,200 agencies and cutting pursuit injuries by 15 %. The 2026 Houston ICE-vehicle collision revives the policy’s relevance as Harris County DA Sean Teare opens a probe.
