A Dadeville city council member submitted a motion on Tuesday, June 28, requesting a no-chase police policy be implemented in the city following the death of a Chambers County deputy last week.  

Councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson made the proposal during a regularly called city council meeting, citing safety issues with the law enforcement protocol, and petitions that the Dadeville police consider restricting the department’s use of vehicle pursuits in capturing criminal suspects.
