I recommend every police department keep track of any detail incident like we do. Today was a perfect example of why a flagman will never replace Police at details:
At approximately 1500 hrs Palmer PD issued a BOLO for a white Honda, stolen, wanted for 2 larcenies from local stores. About 15 minutes later a Trooper working a detail on the Pike spotted the vehicle and gave chase. It exited the Pike, rammed the cruiser, fled, damaged a civilian's vehicle in the process and fled onto a highway then city streets. The operator bailed and after a short foot chase was taken into custody by the MSP & Springfield PD. Discovered in the vehicle were the stolen items and 94C implements. Vehicle was recovered and returned to owner with minimal damage. Cruiser was not damaged bad.
