The first large law enforcement agency to teach TVI as a technique to halt fleeing vehicles was the [[Fairfax County Police Department]] in [[Virginia]], which modified the program for police use and named it "precision immobilization technique" or PIT. Police departments throughout the [[United States]] including the [[San Bernardino Sheriff]]s in [[California]] have come to believe that, executed properly, PIT is an intermediate force option that can safely end a pursuit. Police vehicles often have reinforced bumpers to support this technique.
