    Technology will certainly continue to help mitigate the dangerous, expensive cost of police pursuits. In addition to the GPS-chips that can be fired onto the vehicle, police departments are starting to better collaborate and work as a single unit with products such as PublicEye.

    From their phone, officers can see the live locations of all other police units, which can extend beyond their jurisdiction. With that real-time information, command staff can better coordinate a response plan by having units further ahead setup at strategic locations with roadblocks or other “low tech” solutions.
