When a pursuit from a neighboring agency entered Calera, officers deployed a #Nighthawk remote spike strip to safely bring it to an end. The department obtained #NightHawk devices through a grant after one of its officers was injured using traditional hand-deployed spikes. Nationwide, dozens of officers have been killed deploying those older systems, which require standing dangerously close to oncoming traffic. Because the Nighthawk can be deployed and retracted remotely, it greatly reduces risk
