AJC INVESTIGATION | Chases Unchecked: The Georgia State Patrol’s heavy reliance on PIT maneuvers to end chases has contributed to Georgia having the highest death rate in police pursuits of any state in the country for the five-year period ending in 2022, an AJC analysis of thousands of police pursuits and the latest federal crash data. Most pursuits by GSP, including those that involve PITs and those that result in deaths and injuries, begin over traffic infractions. Georgia troopers use the PIT more often and seldom choose to call off chases. GSP says the driver by not complying with an officer’s lawful order to stop initiates the pursuit and the importance of the driver’s responsibility to stop “cannot be overlooked or over-emphasized.” Visit ajc.com/chases for the latest installment in our “Chases Unchecked” investigative series.

Do 100 year olds hold the secret to a long life? https://bit.ly/3V8SQvV

People worldwide are living longer. And while major health advancements contribute, the real blueprint to a longer life might be in the lives of centenarians, people who are one hundred or more years old. Thomas Perls, geriatrician and director of the New England Centenarian Study, says 100-year-olds have an “amazing resilience” that helps them age very slowly. Over the past couple months, AJC producers spoke with centenarians in the South, where life expectancy is the lowest in the country, to learn the secrets of the oldest among us. Turns out, centenarians are not a monolith. When you take a closer look at genetics, race and gender, a human’s health journey and propensity for living longer could look vastly different.

Her son walked less than a mile from home. She was arrested hours later. https://bit.ly/40WIZgo

Would you let your 10-year-old walk to the local dollar store? And would you expect to be arrested if the cops found out? Brittany Patterson lives with her family in a tiny North Georgia mountain town of a couple hundred people, where it's typical for kids to wander the woods or venture to friends’ houses. On the day before Halloween, her 10-year-old son Soren endeavored to walk less than a mile to a Dollar General. A passing driver saw him, stopped and asked if he was OK. He said yes. Then a deputy showed up. And Patterson found herself in handcuffs and headed to jail on charges of reckless conduct and Division of Family and Children Services was called, which presented Patterson with a safety plan requiring the installation of a tracking app on her son’s phone.
