These are personal recordings I made in 1980 of Irvine Police Department pursuits while I was a dispatcher. I call all of them except the third pursuit, which was called by Orange County's Control One. These were kept as training tapes for new dispatchers.
Here are the time indices for each pursuit:
0:00:00 -- May 23, 1980 3:20 AM - 3:35 AM. An officer goes in pursuit of a motorcycle wanted for trepassing and failure to yield. The pursuit goes in and out of Irvine.
0:15:12 April 3, 1980 1:46 AM - 1:54 AM. An officer responds to a report of a suspicious vehicle that may have been involved in a car burglary. A possible suspect vehicle flees the officer and is lost in the area. The Costa Mesa PD helicopter 44 Eagle responds on mutual aid.
0:23:03 May 15, 1980 1:25 AM - 1:36 AM. Control One calls a Newport Beach PD pursuit of burglary suspects that enters the City of Irvine. The pursuit passes through the University of California Irvine area into the Turtle Rock village. Irvine PD officers and the Costa Mesa PD helicopter 44 Eagle participate on mutual aid.
0:34:45 July 19, 1980 12:23 AM - 12:28 AM. A sergeant observes two vehicles street racing on Walnut near Harvard. The sergeant pursues one of the suspect vehicles southbound on Culver from Walnut. The suspect vehicle at one point exceeds 100 MPH.
