Corporal Justin Laing spots a stolen car listed on the department’s hot sheet. After a dangerous pursuit through a neighborhood, the driver crashes into a parked truck and flees from the vehicle. Corporal Laing gives chase and begins hopping fences, giving directional updates as he goes. Officer Willie Bermudez responds to the pursuit and arrives as several units chase the suspect into a backyard. The suspect makes it over one more fence and is taken into custody. The injured and winded suspect explains to Bermudez that he got the car from his friend, but can’t remember his full name. He claims he didn’t stop because he was trying to get home to his kid and wanted to “avoid all of this”. Bermudez explains the charges to the suspect and suggests this might be a moment to change the path of the young man’s life.
While patrolling in a neighborhood that has been experiencing an increase in car burglaries, Officer Willie Bermudez spots a male suspect on a bicycle with no lights. When he shines the spotlight on the man, the subject begins to pedal away, with no intention to stop and chat.

The officer pursues the suspect into a backyard and after a brief struggle takes the man into custody. Bermudez recognizes the man as a gangster nicknamed, ‘Frost’, who he has chased many times in the past. While backup arrives, a gun is recovered and ammunition and a holster are found during a search of his person. The suspect receives a felon with a firearm charge and is taken to jail.
