If you have a non-sworn passenger during a pursuit, you should proceed as the

• A. Primary unit, until another marked gets there
• B. Any unit
• C. Supervisor
• D. Not allowed

Answer: (A)

In a vehicle pursuit, the lead responsibilities stay with the primary unit—the driver who is currently in command of the chase. If there’s a non-sworn passenger in the pursuing vehicle, the best practice is for that primary unit to continue leading the pursuit until another marked unit arrives to relieve them. This preserves clear command and control, ensures decisions are made by trained personnel, and keeps communications and tactics consistent. The supervisor may oversee and authorize changes, but the actual pursuit lead remains with the primary unit until a marked unit takes over. Therefore, continuing as the primary unit until relief by a marked unit is the correct approach.
