Police Commissioner Andrew Coster says Police will be making revisions to the fleeing driver policy next year following engagement with staff and stakeholders.
"I want to be sure we provide the right settings to keep our communities and our people safe," Commissioner Coster says.
"Changes to the policy were introduced nearly two years ago. During this time we've seen a significant increase in fleeing driver events and a significant decrease in the proportion of offenders identified.
"However, our data also shows a decrease in the number of people killed during fleeing driver events."
Feedback on the revisions has been sought from Police staff as well as key partners including the Police Association, Independent Police Conduct Authority, and Children's Commissioner.
"We know there is a desire for change and a perception that offenders are more brazen and more willing to take risks with their driving behaviour," Commissioner Coster says.
"The revisions will bring us back to a more balanced position, while still prioritising the safety of officers and the public."
