Utah Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Practice Exam

In a Pursuit Intervention Technique (P.I.T.) response, the primary focus is on stopping the suspects' actions to prevent further danger to the public and to law enforcement. This technique involves strategically maneuvering a police vehicle to safely execute a controlled stop of a suspect's vehicle, which directly aims to halt any potentially dangerous behavior that the suspects may be engaging in, such as fleeing or reckless driving.

Apprehending suspects may be a subsequent goal after stopping their actions, and gathering evidence or establishing a perimeter are important aspects of an overall law enforcement strategy; however, they do not directly align with the immediate priorities during a P.I.T. response. The urgency of stopping the suspects' actions takes precedence to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of all parties involved.
