Safety Reminder: Don't Flee From Law Enforcement
Pull over safely and cooperate with traffic stops — fleeing endangers everyone and can lead to arrest, vehicle damage, and impoundment.
When a law enforcement officer initiates a traffic stop, drivers should pull over safely and cooperate; fleeing creates significant risks for the driver, vehicle occupants, officers and the public. Officers may take steps to stop or slow vehicles that refuse to yield to protect the community. Fleeing can result in arrest, vehicle damage and impoundment, often costing far more than the original reason for the stop — the Summit Police Department urges everyone to prioritize road safety.
