Responsibilities of Traffic Investigations Unit Personnel

The Denver Police Department actively pursues eluding charges, with incidents qualifying under CRS §18-9-116.5 treated as felonies, while others filed as misdemeanors.

Commanding Officer Responsibilities

The commanding officer or designee intervenes in pursuit/eluding accidents leading to death, serious injury, or significant property damage.
Incidents not qualifying as vehicle pursuits are documented in a General Occurrence report titled “Vehicular Eluding – No Chase.”
TIU directs investigations for potential prosecution against violators, vehicle seizure, and record inclusion in relevant databases.
