The Executive Yuan has approved the ''Police Duty Safety Improvement Plan 2.0,'' which aims to improve police duty safety policies and comprehensively enhance on-duty safety. Police officers frequently face emergencies while on patrol and other duties, making defensive driving a crucial function for frontline officers. Police chases often result in injuries or fatalities to suspects, drivers, pedestrians, or the officers themselves, sparking a debate: should police initiate high-risk chases, or are there safer and more effective methods to complete missions? Before a chase, officers must assess multiple factors within seconds, including the threat posed by the suspect and the need to maintain public safety. It is essential to instill safe driving concepts in colleagues. To improve the law enforcement environment, the National Police Agency is investigating recent police duty issues and their causes, analyzing police duty safety policies to enhance policing efficiency and public safety—a crucial issue that the Police Education and Training Institute should address. Therefore, this study conducted an online questionnaire survey from July 1 to 15, 2025, targeting 155 active-duty police officers (136 male, 19 female) serving in police agencies nationwide. The final recommendations are: I. Policy Aspects: (a) Article 1 of 10 of the ''Uniform Punishment Standard Forms and Rules for Handling the Matters of Violating Road Traffic Regulations'' has been added, providing guidelines for police officers before, during, and after conducting ''tracking and investigation'' operations.(b) ''Organization and Operation Regulations for Police Chase Investigation Teams'' have been established, creating an independent investigation team to conduct investigations and provide opinions.(c) Strict restrictions have been placed on initiating chases, requiring compliance with the Criminal Code's provisions on serious crimes, reducing the risk and cost of police interception. II. Education and Training Aspects: (a) Safe driving techniques for cars and motorcycles are included in year-round training.(b) Training for officers of different seniority is strengthened to ensure consistency in law enforcement actions.(c) Risk assessment training for officers is enhanced to improve the accuracy of law enforcement discretion. III. Technology Aspects: (a) Utilizing technological law enforcement equipment to replace traditional chase methods.(b) Introducing drones to assist in investigations and reduce the occurrence of chase accidents.(c) Using driving simulators to improve driving skills. IV. Management Aspects: (a) Review the performance evaluation system reasonably to guide the improvement of police service quality. (b) Procure police vehicles with specially designed AI-powered smart patrol systems to meet specific duty requirements. (c) Establish an AI-powered duty command center to accurately dispatch police forces to effectively perform duty functions. |
