Hurtt revises HPD chase policy, doesn't inform public/media

Beleaguered police chief Harold Hurtt has approved a revised policy on chases, a policy that is not going over well with officers on the street (many of whom have already expressed their concerns with Hurtt's leadership).

KRIV-26 reporter Isiah Carey had an early report tonight, and the video is posted on KRIV's new news site. Carey reports that the new pursuit policy went into place on Monday. Nice of the Chief to let the media/public know. Councilmember Michael Berry seemed particularly upset that he found out about the change in policy from Carey, not Hurtt.

KHOU-11's Jeff McShan has also posted a report.

UPDATE (08-23-2006): The Chronicle apparently threw together a story at the last minute. It does not quote any member of Council.

UPDATE 2 (08-23-2006): KPRC-950's Pat Gray is jamming on this topic today.

UPDATE 3 (08-23-2006): KTRH-740's Chris Baker is blasting on MayorWhiteChiefHurtt as well.
