What is the success rate for fleeing?
Rate of success is directly related to the quality of the running shoe and the athleticism of the perp.
Not always. I recall one time working the gang unit, I went to back up an officer who called out in a foot pursuit of a black male adult. I arrived in the area just in time to see the perp come racing from between two buildings and start running past my patrol car down the street. (This was about a quarter mile from the initial call) I dumped the car into park and jumped out just as the officer I was backing up raced past me too. Within another 100 feet he had tackled the perp and I hustled over to assist in cuffing him up. When we rolled him over, he started complaining that he never thought any white cop would catch him. Of course that white cop was a former Marine and a triathlete who routinely ran 8-10 miles a day. For my part I just informed the now winded perp that he could run fast, but not faster than a radio call...
