(Portland, OR) -- The Portland Police Bureau is adjusting its protocols for car chases. The change will loosen restrictions on officers who need to pursue a suspect vehicle, allowing them to go after people suspected of property crimes. Under current guidelines, officers can only consider engaging in a car chase if the suspect is believed to have committed a felony "person" crime. The change goes into effect 30 days from Friday. Police are still expected to end a pursuit when the safety risks outweigh the benefit of catching the suspect they're pursuing.
