     § 6343.  Pursuit records.
        (a)  General rule.--All police departments shall maintain
     records of all motor vehicle pursuits.
        (b)  Procedure.--The commissioner, in consultation with the
     Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association and the Fraternal
     Order of Police, shall develop a reporting mechanism for which
     all police departments must comply and submit records of all
     motor vehicle pursuits. The commissioner, with the approval of
     the commission, shall determine the most efficient and least
     burdensome procedure for which this reporting requirement shall
     be carried out. This procedure may be incorporated at the
     discretion of the commissioner within existing or forthcoming
     uniform crime reporting functions, including a national
     incident-based reporting system.
        (c)  Content.--The report shall include, but not be limited
     to, the following information:
            (1)  Reason for pursuit.
            (2)  Injuries, if any, and to what persons.
            (3)  Property damage, if any.
            (4)  Deaths, if any.
            (5)  Suspect information, including statute violations
        and apprehension status of the suspect.
            (6)  Any other information deemed necessary by the
        commissioner to evaluate and improve pursuit policies.
        (d)  Implementation.--The commissioner may implement the
     reporting requirements to coincide with the timing of the
     implementation of a national incident-based reporting system
     within this Commonwealth.
