The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department announced changes to its pursuit policy Monday afternoon following a push from a local leader and reporting from News 5 regarding the deaths of two innocent bystanders earlier this year.
The revised policy states that deputies can only initiate a pursuit if the driver is “reasonably believed to have committed an offense of violence,” the department said in a news release.
