The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has introduced a new tool to help end vehicle pursuits. Patrol vehicles are being equipped with PIT bumpers, which are designed to safely terminate pursuits. This new equipment gives deputies a tactical tool to use in situations where a driver is evading law enforcement.
The goal is to minimize risk to everyone on the road. Further details about the PIT bumpers and their use are available from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
