Chevy, some advice if you don't mind. Do not go in foot pursuit on these bailouts, especially past the vehicle. There will almost always be someone who stays in the car; don't put your back to them.
Think about it ahead of time so it comes natural, but make sure to radio in a good description of the driver (coyote) of the vehicle. That's the one you want the most and will be the most likely to be armed.
Then, give descriptions, numbers and direction of travel, where to set up a good perimeter and wait for back-up to clear the vehicle.
The UDA's are not going to know the area at all and will stick together in little groups. You will round them up after people start calling in on them because they stick out like a sore thumb. Sometimes they will realize their predicament… especially if out in the boonies, and will walk back to you, so be disciplined and patient.
Just don't rush the vehicle, it is not worth it.
This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.
