High-speed vehicular pursuits; directing law enforcement agencies to adopt certain policies and procedures; codification; effective date.

HB 2925 requires all Oklahoma state, county, and local law enforcement agencies to adopt written policies governing high-speed vehicle pursuits. The bill mandates specific safety measures, including banning high-speed chases in crowded areas, prohibiting shooting at moving vehicles, requiring supervisor approval before initiating a pursuit, and prioritizing alternatives like drones or GPS trackers. It restricts pursuits to cases involving serious violent crimes (such as murder, assault, or kidnapping) where there is a reasonable certainty that apprehension will prevent immediate harm, and explicitly prohibits pursuits for misdemeanors unless no public safety risk exists. The law becomes effective November 1, 2025.
