Dispatch controller and method for assigning a role of pursuit vehicle

摘要

A method (250) and dispatch controller (102) for assigning roles to responder units (104) in a suspect pursuit. The method (250) and controller include determining that the suspect pursuit is active and identifying a first responder unit (402) as a pursuit unit (134) to pursue the suspect. In response to a reevaluation trigger, the method (250) and dispatch controller (102) determine to reevaluate assignment of the pursuit unit (134). The reevaluation may occur, for example, when the pursuit unit (134) is blocked by traffic (406) or otherwise is separated from the suspect. Characteristic data (200) is received regarding the responder units (104) in response to the reevaluation trigger. The characteristic data (200) is then evaluated to determine a suitability level of each of the responder units (104) to be the pursuit unit (134). When the second responder unit (404) has a higher suitability level than the first responder unit (402), the second responder unit (404) is substituted as the pursuit unit (134).
