Summary

"The Auto-Kill Switch (Rushton Vehicle Anti-Theft Device) allows a police officer to leave the patrol car running while away from it. However, if someone attempts to drive off in the car, it will stall and will not restart. Edmonton Police Service, Fredericton Police Force and the Service de police de Hull tested the device, and this report contains the results of their evaluations."
