Redfern Legal Centre has called on the NSW Police Force to release its policy on "safe driving" as a matter of urgency following the death of 16-year-old Jai Wright after a collision with an unmarked police car.
A police investigation into the incident is underway. Although the complete details of Mr Wright’s death are not yet known, including whether in fact a police pursuit was involved, Samaantha Lee said this tragic incident was a timely reminder of the issues around police pursuits.
“NSW State Coroners have made numerous recommendations about safe driving in the context of police pursuits, but we still don’t know if NSW Police acted on these recommendations,” Ms Lee said.
"It's time for NSW Police to let the public know what policies and procedures are in place to prevent such horrific incidents," she said.
