I was considering putting this in the guides section, but i'm unsure it's of great enough quality to put there, but I figured I'd share this to maybe inspire some people or just generally be of use.
This information all about making ends meet, when it comes to policing, to be precise, how to end the chase in a method you can use over and over again and rely on it to always work, I can honestly say after being around since 2006 this is the most effective and neat way I've found to stop people and maybe it will help you too.
OK so the first thing to think about is, how do I get in the situation where I can box the suspect? The first thing that should come to your mind is slowing the suspect down. But wait! There's more!
A slowed down suspect facing forwards can push through practically anything you put in it's way, even if there car is lighter and has a smaller engine than yours, it can most likely push through you. Hmm. Problem.
The solution to this, is to get the suspect going backwards.
Backwards. OK, so if you're driving on a straight peice of road, you're unlikely to get the suspect going backwards if you PIT them here because they have the space to counter steer - Ontop of this, on a straight, the suspect has the time to see and react to everything you do because of the wide open space and are likely to hit the brakes before you can make contact - The suspect has mirrors too!
Instead we wait for some corners. The best approach to the suspect is from distance, in a blind spot, and fast, so they have little time to see you move in. Consider which side the driver is on to decide the best corner to PIT on and always PIT on the inside of the corner - If they're turning into your PIT they are likely to end up going backwards.
Once they're going backwards Basic Training will instinctively tell you to get ready for a J-Turn Block, but this doesn't really come into use here, instead your vehicle will be used as a guide rail.
You'll move into position 1 - Let me explain the beauty of this situation.
The suspect is unable to turn left - You're in the way
There's a big gap to the right of the suspect, but they can't turn into it - Why? Because if they try to turn, the front of there car will get caught on yours - You're now in complete control of where the suspects car goes, the only person able to do the steering.
In Stage 2 You'll guide them towards the gaurd rail - Cop 2 Will move in in front of the suspect even without reading this tutorial because it just happens instinctively to them for some reason, and I love this maneuver for that reason.
The suspect will most likely keep trying to outrun you in reverse gear because the other cop is blocking there front and thus you can keep guiding them to the railings. Should they stop completely you can do a little handbrake turn and just box them in the middle of the grass. But we'll assume the perfect situation and they end up against the railing.
Stage 3 - You move ahead of the suspect, and diagonally get ahead of the car, as pictured, changing between the brake and accelerator to stay in that position until they've slowed to a complete halt - and they will!
Cop 2 if he knows what he is doing will park diagonally in front as pictured - Why? If they park directly in front the suspect can easily escape by driving forwards whilst turning.
At this point the suspect normally panics and sticks the car into first.
This is stage 4. Cop 1 will put the car into reverse, and turn the car as pictured. Cop 2 will get pushed, and end up as pictured. Don't give the suspect an inch. Ta-da ~ Busted.
Note one other thing.
Once the suspect is stopped, consider your braking forces and how effective they are at keeping the suspect stopped - Which way are your wheels turned?
I hope you found this little run through useful or entertaining
