Policy scrutiny follows chase in wake of Lawrence crash
Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild set a September 16 preliminary hearing for Cho amid debate over police pursuit policies. Cho remains in Douglas County Jail on 150000 dollars bond after a fatal crash that officials say began with a misdriving incident on Massachusetts Street and continued through crowded city streets. Police Chief Ron Olin says officers followed the pursuit policy which allows stopping when safety conditions override the pursuit. Robinson urges reviewing dispatch tapes and considering car video cameras, while Dunfield notes officials rarely set policies, yet Velucci’s death prompts closer scrutiny.
