A mother and son leaving a Dollar Tree parking lot died when a police chase crashed into them. Two hours after the crash, the officer driving had been taken to the hospital, and a man named Michael Hawkins was found in the backseat of the police vehicle. Police initially did not know who he is and how he had gotten into the police car. The police vehicle was reported to be speeding excessively without lights or sirens.

The man in the backseat who was identified as Michael Hawkins was paralyzed from this crash. A lawsuit for this injury was filed against the city. His caretaker had called 911 because of his unusual behavior and he was led to the police car. Police still have not explained why he was in the back of the police car when it sped off on an unrelated call, crashed, killed 2 people and injured Hawkins who was not discovered injured in the police vehicle until hours later. Police are not allowed to take a second call while they have not completed the call they are on and the officer was obligated not to chase the second vehicle but conclude the first call which would have prevented the 2 fatalities and caused Mr. Hawkins to be paralyzed from the waist down and remain on life support as of 07/17/2024, the time of this update.

On June 19, 2024, officers responded to a report of a woman, Lisa Fordyce-Blair, in a mental health crisis, allegedly threatening a neighbor with a rifle. Following the initial call, officers arrived and attempted to deescalate the situation over the next several hours. A SWAT team was deployed after Fordyce-Blair refused to respond to negotiators' attempts to make contact via phone and PA announcements. The police then fired non-lethal rounds at the house to create a path for a drone to provide video surveillance.
.
After the SWAT team fired "knock knock" rounds to break a window, the negotiator managed to contact Fordyce-Blair for a brief phone conversation. During this time, she reportedly fired two or three rounds at officers. After the police breached the house, they found Fordyce-Blair deceased from gunshot wounds.
.
An investigation by the Office of Special Prosecutions later found that Sergeant Jonathan Butler, the officer involved, was legally justified in the shooting. This incident marked the fourth police-related fatality in Anchorage within the span of a month. The incident has since been ruled an officer-involved shooting, and no charges were filed against the officers involved​.

COn 06/20/2024, Christopher Pringle, 33, was reported missing while visiting Port St. Lucie, Florida, from Texas. St. Lucie Police located Pringle driving on a highway and deployed stop sticks to disable his vehicle. Pringle evaded the initial attempt to stop him, prompting an escalated response involving dozens of officers, a helicopter, and drones. Using cell phone tracking technology, police pinpointed his location at a shopping mall parking lot.
.
A SWAT team was deployed to the scene, locking down the mall and surrounding Pringle’s van. Officers brought a Lenco BearCat armored vehicle and established a perimeter while attempting a surround-and-callout strategy. Police shattered the windows of Pringle’s van using breaching tools and threw flashbang grenades inside to disorient him. Chemical agents were also deployed into the vehicle, with witnesses reporting hearing Pringle coughing during the prolonged standoff.
.
Despite the intense tactical response, Pringle was later found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the van. Police disclosed that Pringle possessed only a homemade .22 firearm and had not threatened or harmed anyone during the incident. St. Lucie Police confirmed that Pringle was not being sought in connection with any crime, emphasizing that the operation originated as a welfare check stemming from his missing person report.
.
Pringle’s family described him as a positive individual who had been battling depression and questioned the need for the aggressive tactics employed by police. The St. Lucie Police Department has announced an internal investigation into the handling of the case, including the decisions to deploy SWAT, escalate the response, and use chemical agents and armored vehicles during a non-criminal investigation.
