NIJ is interested in receiving applications for funding to develop solutions for safely and effectively resolving police motor vehicle pursuits. NIJ recognizes that no solution is likely to safely and effectively stop all motor vehicles under all circumstances. Successful solutions must be practicable for multiple different types of vehicles, in heavy traffic, and in areas with high pedestrian traffic. For purposes of this solicitation, a safe resolution has three aspects: (1) the safety of the public, (2) the safety of the pursuing officer(s), and (3) the safety of the individual or individual(s) in the vehicle being pursued. An effective resolution is first and foremost defined in terms of the safety of the individuals involved or in immediate, close proximity to a pursuit situation. It is also defined in terms of, when appropriate, the timely apprehension of individuals involved, recovery of property (i.e., a stolen vehicle), and minimization of property damage.
The ideal solutions would:
• Pose no threat of injury to the pursuing officers, bystanders, and occupant(s) of the pursued vehicles
• Have near instantaneous effect (e.g., full stop or idle speed operation)
• Have consistent results across a wide range of pursued vehicles
• Not permanently damage vehicles
• Not require proximity to the pursued vehicle to work
• Be able to stop a specific vehicle in traffic without affecting others
• Be portable and able to be operated by a single officer
• Be used by the average officer with minimal training
• Be easy to maintain
• Be priced to be affordable by State and local law enforcement agencies
• Have no adverse environmental effects
