Running speed

Is it possible either to have a slight boost to our running speed or nerf the suspects' speed a little bit? If your suspect is not a fatty, there's no point running after him/her because in the best case you have the same exact speed, and this is easily 95% of the pursuits on foot (the remaining 5% being the fat lady, the old fart and the idiot running into a speeding car). I have even seen a couple of cops running faster than me, this is how bad it is... I don't know if our officer has his own stat or if they are based on the character we used to go on duty but if this is the latter my stats are maxed on each character so it shouldn't be an issue. And if we have our own stats then these officers suck or every single suspect is an olympic sprinter.

Backups are next to useless since they always stop their car behind the suspect and then start the chase on foot from behind (it would greatly help if they could be smarter and at least stop ahead of the suspect). Just for kicks I spammed backups - like 20 units - and you just end up with a herd of cops running behind the suspect.

At this point as soon as I see that I won't catch up I get back to my vehicle... which defeats the purpose of a pursuit on foot. And from what I see from people on YT it seems that I am not the only one who doesn't bother anymore running after a suspect. If I am alone I gently knock them off, if I have backups I just force the suspects to run into the officers. In both cases this is not really satisfying when you want a real pursuit on foot.

I am not asking for an easy button, we don't have to be twice faster, heck a few suspects could still outrun us, but it shouldn't be the vast majority of them, the way it is right now.

That would be great! Please.

It seems that peds are even not affected by the terrain. I just had a pursuit ending on the beach and along the ocean. As you get close to the water it becomes muddy and it greatly slows you down. The suspect was flying like nothing while I was struggling to advance.

I noticed too that this was a problem so I got the 'Native Trainer' and whenever I load LSPDFR, I be sure to enable 'Fast Running' and 'Unlimited Ability'.  Now I actually run faster than the suspects and stamina never gets low.  i know its cheating, but it is very helpful, and helps with the frustrations.

yeah, I have noticed this issue as well

I can see why you'd do this but I feel it makes it too easy. I wish there was a halfway thing, because the fast running option in the trainer is too fast, but normal just gets frustrating.

This is getting annoying to the point where I don't bother anymore and just shoot anyone in the legs (to hell RP when the situation is ridiculous to begin with), actually even fatties can run as fast as any other suspects and it is impossible to catch up. A bunch of trained officers who can't catch up on a fat guy?

In the end the only suspects running slower than us are women and the few old people.

It is debilitating how slow the cop model is. It is frustrating when you are a middle aged, physically fit cop and you get outrun by an old 300 lbs fatty. Its not even worth pursing a suspect that flees on foot because you will NOT catch him.
