“at no time must police patrols pursue the wrong way along dual carriageways/motorways”

“entering a dual carriageway contrary to the normal directional flow is extremely high risk and potentially very dangerous for reasons which are obvious”

“travelling the wrong way down a dual carriageway is not something we would endorse as suitable unless exceptional circumstances prevail and it is necessary and proportionate to attempt this tactic based upon the high degree of threat, risk and harm required to justify this decision”

“Local knowledge cannot be guaranteed in a regional police force and systems should be in place that if such a situation were to reoccur, the police driver should expressly state, and the supervising inspector expressly request, if the police vehicle is travelling on the wrong side of a dual carriageway.”
