Wisconsin ranks as one of the most dangerous states for fatal police chases, according to NHTSA analysis.
A recent analysis of fatal crash statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revealed that Wisconsin ranks among the most dangerous states for police pursuits. The study shows that in 2023, there were 535 fatal crashes in Wisconsin, with 11 of them (2.06%) involving a police chase as a direct cause. Specifically, the Wisconsin State Patrol's Pursuit Operations Policy requires troopers to assess whether engaging in a pursuit poses an unreasonable danger to the public, emphasizing the continuous evaluation of risks. For instance, in the City of Waukesha, officers are trained on vehicle pursuits and use a "pursuit desirability guide" to aid decision-making during chases. Notably, states like Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, Delaware, Montana, and Nebraska reported no fatal police pursuit incidents in 2023.
