significant change in how they handle fleeing
vehicles with innovative technology. Troopers
can now deploy a GPS tracking device from their
cruiser, allowing them to track, rather than
chase, a suspect's vehicle. Trooper Colton Leary
explained that activating the device is as simple
as hitting arm and launch, which allows for real
-time updates on the vehicle's location. This
method significantly reduces the dangers associated
with high -speed chases, which can be hazardous
for both officers and the public. Currently,

in the NFL, and won their eighth in a row. Henderson
