2023年 ダニディン警察は盗難車を追跡し,乗客が死亡する事故を引き起こした. 2023 Dunedin Police pursued stolen car against policy, leading to crash killing passenger.
独立警察行動管理局は,ダニディン警察官は,当時存在していた逃亡運転手方針に従わなかったため,2023年5月に乗員5人を乗せた盗難車を追いかけたべきではなかったと判断しました. The Independent Police Conduct Authority found that Dunedin Police officers should not have pursued a stolen car carrying five occupants in May 2023, as they did not follow the then-existing fleeing driver policy. 危険が迫った時 追いかけるのを止めましたが 車が制御を失い 衝突し 後部座席の乗客 マイケル・マクレランドが 死亡しました Although the officers appropriately abandoned the pursuit when it became dangerous, the car lost control, crashed, and killed rear-seat passenger Michael McClelland. 事故の直接的な原因は警察の運転ではないと当局は結論付けました. The authority concluded that police driving was not a direct cause of the crash. 事件は追跡方針の変更直前に起こりました それ以来,警察のスタッフは追加訓練を受けています The incident took place just before a change in the pursuit policy, and since then, broader police staff have received additional training.
