She gathered the children but did not see her youngest outside and assumed he was already inside. "I blew it off at first," she said. "I thought he was inside.

Then I asked my other boys where he was at, and no one knew, and that's when I started to get worried."

Test for HIV, officials urge By Rob Schneider rob.schneider@indystar.com Health officials appealed to Marion County residents Friday to take advantage of free tests to find out whether they are among the estimated 900 people in Indianapolis who are infected with the HIV virus but don't know it. Anonymous or confidential tests, including tests whose results can be completed within a half-hour, will be offered at nine locations today through next week. The estimate of the number of people who don't know they are infected with the potentially lifeending virus is based on a mathematical model used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Testing is crucial so people can begin treating the disease, said Tracy Elliott, executive director of the Damien Center, the city's oldest AIDS service organization. "The sooner they get in front of this virus, the healthier they are going to be, the longer they are going to live," Elliott said. Since 1982, there have been 3,114 cases of AIDS reported in Marion County, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. Indiana data on HIV infections before the onset of full-blown AIDS begin in 1985. Since then, 1,571 cases of HIV have been reported in the county, according to State Department of Where free HIV tests Free HIV testing will be available at the following sites: Blackburn Health Center, 2700 Dr.

Elliott noted that the medications are toxic and a number of people experience severe side effects, such as diarrhea and extreme fatigue. "What a lot of people don't realize is, you are taking 12 to 15 medications a day, and it's not inexpensive," Caine said. "We'd just as soon prevent prevent the spread of the disease."

Not all requirements or tools are included.

Indianapolis Police Department Requires a supervisor to monitor pursuits and stop them if public safety requires. Places ID letters on the roofs of all marked vehicles to allow overhead direction from a helicopter. (Other Marion County police departments have followed suit.) Allows three cars to be involved in the pursuit. (Formerly two cars; a third car was added Chases I Deaths drop in cities that limit high-speed chases. From B1 pursuits.

About 40 percent of all police pursuits end in accidents, and about 1 percent end in death, Alpert said. Areas such as Miami, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Seattle have severely restricted police chases, he said. Most don't allow police officers to pursue a vehicle unless the officers have a reasonable suspicion that the fleeing suspect was involved in a violent felony. "The more progressive departments are restricting their pursuits to these violent felonies," Alpert said. "You've got to think about how you can out-think these guys rather than how you can out-muscle them." High-speed chases remain fraught with danger.

But, in the cities that have adopted such policies, the number of deaths and injuries goes down because the number of chases is markedly fewer. It isn't just suspects and innocent third parties who are at risk. In 2003, 50 officers were killed in car crashes, according to PoliceDriving.com, a Web site maintained by officers involved in police driver training programs. Indiana police agencies, however, are not among the converts to Alpert's teaching. to allow canine officers to be involved.) Allows the use of tire-deflating devices.

Requires pursuits to be reviewed by the chain of command and the Vehicle Operations Review Board. Marion County Sheriff's Department Requires a supervisor to monitor pursuits and stop them if public safety requires. Normally allows only two cars to be involved. 1 Allows the use of tire-deflating devices. Lt.

Mike Reath, an instructor with the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield, said almost all of the state's 486 police departments allow police chases for minor offenses. Some limit pursuits to fleeing people suspected of misdemeanors or greater crimes. Others, such as the Indianapolis Police and Marion County Sheriff's departments, allow pursuits to begin with a witnessed traffic violation. Last month, a chase that began after such an offense led to the death of a 75-year-old motorist when his car was struck by the car of the fleeing suspect a man who had failed to use his turn signals. Assistant Indianapolis Police Chief Michael T.

Spears said the crash occurred so swiftly after the police officer turned on his sirens that the officer and supervisor didn't have time to suspend the chase. Such chases also impose a difficult choice. Many suspects will drive away at reckless speeds regardless of whether the officer pursues. At least by following with his lights and sirens, the officer is alerting others to the possible danger, Spears said. Indianapolis revised its pursuit policy in 2002 after a fleeing traffic violator's car crashed into another car, killing a 9-year-old boy and his mother.

The current policy requires a supervisor to be assigned to monitor a chase soon after it Requires pursuits to be reviewed by the chain of command and the Vehicle Operations Review Board. Indiana State Police Requires the district duty officer to monitor pursuits and stop them if public safety requires. Instructs officers to avoid "caravan" situations. Allows the use of tire-deflating devices. Requires a vehicle pursuit report to be forwarded to the commander of the Field Enforcement Division.

PROCTOR In Loving Memory of Marlene A. Proctor A sad day came When we had to part, But you will always Be in our hearts. Donna, Leonard Family WILLIAMSON Carolyn Sue Williamson It has been one whole year, and we miss you. We let you go because we know that you are safe in the arms of Jesus. With no more pain suffering.

You have made the up-hill journey that you used to talk about. Rest in peace until we all meet again on the other side. We miss you, Son David Earl Morris; daughterin-law Chantris; grandsons, Cantrell, DaJuan, Dominique starts, and requires the pursuing officer or his supervisor to call off the chase if public safety becomes too much at risk. The goal was to make sure that someone unaffected by the adrenaline rush of a chase was making sure that the decision to pursue and the conditions were reasonable, Spears said. "It's an incredible danger to police officers and everybody on the streets.

There are very few other things in which a police officer can become involved that are as dangerous," he said. Still, Spears believes that greater restrictions would not be good. "What we've learned from our experience is that even the seemingly most benign traffic stops can result in the arrest of persons for extremely serious crimes," he said. Most Indiana agencies, although not all, have similar policies, requiring a supervisor's approval to continue a pursuit, said Scott Mellinger, director of the Plainfield academy, where most officers are trained. "I think 99 percent of the time, the supervisors I've been acquainted with across the state are going to lean more toward the issue of public safety," he said.

McQueary said Thursday's chase will be reviewed to determine whether the department's policy, which requires supervisory monitoring, was followed. Call Star reporter Terry Horne at (317) 444-6082..
