What typically happens after a report of an officer in pursuit?

An immediate stop of all traffic
A backup call is generated for support
The pursuit is no longer monitored
All units are instructed to go home

This ensures that additional units can respond to the situation, providing necessary assistance to the pursuing officer.

The coordination of backup is crucial for officers in pursuit, as it enhances their safety and increases the likelihood of a successful resolution to the situation. Promptly alerting other units allows them to be situationally aware and prepared for any developments that may arise during the pursuit.
