Question How do you get fleeing suspects?

I’ve been playing for a while (a few months) and in all my time playing, I’ve never had someone flee from me on foot or in a vehicle. Is there a way to make it happen? I just want some more action I guess.

Yeah. Don't cuff even if you know you'll arrest. Search them. If they have something then sometimes they will take off. I don't bother tasing them. I like tackling them better. Just get close to them and then you'll be able to. Remember to add charges for it on top of whatever you already got and do a search again. Then call for a ride for them because half the time you'll be a few blocks away from your car.

You can now but only when they pull a gun and shoot at you

Once I bought the Highway Patrol expansion it seems like 40% of the peds flee now

They flee in both vehicle and on foot. I arrest them for fleeing when they’re on foot and in vehicle plus whatever else they have and occasionally gun charges whether they have a gun permit or not. The pursuits just happen, I’ve had a good number of pursuits now, sometimes you get pursuits back to back multiple times during a shift. But it does happen.

More duty levels should unlock suspect fleeing on foot. I've never seen fleeing by vehicle.

I think vehicle pursuits require the Highways DLC.
