Deputies from the Jackson County Sheriffâs Office are involved in a couple of speed chases per week, as referenced in the front page story today. That will likely continue until state legislators toughen up current laws. Law enforcement officials talked this week about the dangers of police pursuits. Lt. Craig Holcomb, of the sheriffâs office, remembers a chase that began in South Pittsburg, Tennessee and ended in Rainsville, in DeKalb County, resulting in two deaths. Interim Scottsboro Police Chief Ron Latimer remembers the time, during a pursuit, his vehicle was rammed by the suspect vehicle. Police pursuits are dangerous for all involved, and those not involved. While some police departments have âno pursuitâ policies, that invites those who donât want to be stopped by police officers.
