If you have a non-sworn passenger, you can only pursue if you are?

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

Answer: (A)

When a non-sworn passenger is present, the pursuing officer must be the primary unit. The lead vehicle is responsible for the chase, making decisions, and maintaining control, while a non-sworn passenger isn’t authorized to participate or assume driving duties. If another marked unit arrives, that unit should take over as the primary unit to keep the pursuit coordinated and safe. This setup limits risk by keeping the pursuit under trained, sworn supervision.
