CHANDLER, AZ (AZFamily) — Chandler police said they used traffic cameras and real-time updates to stop a dangerous driver who would not stop for officers.

A 911 caller reported a woman at a gas station behaving erratically and that her vehicle was missing a tire. Police identified the driver as Jolyssa Stewart. When officers tried to stop her, she drove through a red light, police said.
Cameras tracked the vehicle
The department’s real-time operations center used traffic cameras to locate and follow the vehicle, providing officers with ongoing updates, Chandler Police Officer Marysol Green told Arizona’s Family.
The center brings camera feeds, maps, databases and other tools together in one hub.
“They literally are the eyes in the sky,” Green said.
After officers used a grappler, Stewart continued trying to get away and rammed a patrol vehicle, investigators said.
Flock cameras involved
The arrest did not involve Flock license plate readers, which Chandler shut down after an audit found an officer had misused the system. The city’s decision to end that contract did not eliminate other cameras used by police.

Asked about privacy concerns, Green said real-time updates help officers know what to expect when they arrive.
Chandler police said the operations center helped with 11,000 patrol incidents in its first year and supported 65 criminal arrests.
