Early Intervention System IV documents five or more vehicle pursuits in a how many month period?

• A. 4 or more vehicle pursuits in 6 months
• B. 3 or more vehicle pursuits in 12 months
• C. 5 or more vehicle pursuits in 18 months
• D. 5 or more vehicle pursuits in 12 months

Answer: (D)

The key idea being tested is how Early Intervention System IV defines a pattern of risky behavior for pursuits over time. The standard threshold uses a 12‑month window, flagging officers who have five or more vehicle pursuits within that year. Reaching this level indicates a pattern rather than isolated incidents, signaling the need for supervisor review and possible corrective action to address safety and risk. This 12‑month, five-pursuit benchmark balances timely intervention with avoiding over-flagging. Other options that change either the time window or the count would either trigger too often (a shorter window with a lower count) or too late (a longer window with the same or higher count), and thus do not align with the established policy trigger.
