Batesburg-Leesville councilman proposes ‘No Chase’ police policy

Batesburg-Leesville, SC (WIS) – Batesburg-Leesville Councilman Steve Cain has proposed the adoption of a “no chase” police policy, and has asked the Town Manager to immediately suspend all police pursuits.

The proposal comes after a police pursuit that ended in a crash killed a 26-year-old last week.

“We believe that all life is important so I propose that Batesburg-Leesville adopts a no chase policy except in situations defined below,” the councilman said.
