WIS Investigates takes a look at the training required for SC officers when it comes to high-speed pursuits.

Studies and experts cited in the report suggests officers should only pursue a suspect if a violent crime has been committed, or if the suspect could commit another violent crime. The report also gives recommendations on how law enforcement should handle suspects who are driving recklessly or under the influence.

WIS Investigates found over the past five years the South Carolina Insurance Reserve Fund paid more than $13.5 million in insurance claims for police chases.

Former law enforcement officer Tim Morgan created an alert system called Digital Siren that will warn the public when officers are chasing through the area.

Some in the law enforcement community believe chases could be reduced by increasing the penalties for drivers that flee from police. Right now, if someone drives away from blue lights and sirens, and no one is injured or killed, that person is charged with a misdemeanor.
