Supplementary notes

Note from the source: "Pursuit-related incidents are classified as pursuit-related if they involved a pursuit or a ‘follow’. Not all of these incidents will have entered an official pursuit phase as defined by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). Incidents that involved a collision of a vehicle that had recently been pursued by police, but where the police had lost sight of the vehicle, are included. Incidents where police are ‘following’ a vehicle before obtaining permission to pursue are also included as pursuit related."
