Culver City Council Approves Police Pursuit Mitigation Technology in Split Vote

By |May 30th, 2024|

The Culver City Police Department is getting one more tool to help deal with suspects in the city. The Culver City Council approved a three-year contract on Tuesday night costing over $140,000 with technology company StarChase to begin the use of their pursuit tracking technology. StarChase hopes to improve the safety of police operations by allowing officers to attach a GPS-tracking device to suspect’s vehicles during high-speed chases. An air pressure system is used to shoot a dart affixed with the tracker from the front of an equipped vehicle to the target which will help reduce the number of pursuits and make the ones that happen safer.
