Mandate the Use of Grappler Police Bumpers in All Police Departments

The Issue

I have witnessed numerous police pursuits which had disastrous outcomes when the fleeing suspect collided with innocent victims. The shock and horror of these incidents bringing a stark understanding of the urgent need for change. This is not just about reducing injuries and fatalities, this is about protecting every one of us who uses the road.

Every year, there are approximately 355 people killed in police chases in the U.S. (source: Bureau of Justice Statistics). That's nearly one person a day! Many of these casualties are not the fleeing suspects but innocent bystanders or motorists caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

To address this issue, we must insist on the adoption of Grappler Police Bumpers. This simple yet ingenious device enables police vehicles to hook a fleeing car's rear tire, safely bringing it to a halt and reducing the risk of a dangerous collision. Any new solution might have its own risks, but it's hard to imagine anything worse than the status quo where innocent lives are on the line.

Through this petition, we seek to mandate the use of Grappler Police Bumpers in all police departments across the nation. We believe this is a step in the right direction and will drastically reduce the number of unnecessary injuries and deaths attributable to police pursuits.

We appeal to the concerned authorities to prioritize safer options to stop fleeing vehicles, with the Grappler Police Bumper being at the forefront. Sign the petition now—your action could save the lives of innocent trouble.
