Brenda Ehrensperger serves as PursuitSAFETY’s Team Leader for the State of Alabama. She has been a member of the organization since early 2008 and was one of those who requested that PursuitSAFETY’s mission be expanded to include tragic police response calls that, on average, kill at least 122 innocent bystanders and 37 occupants in the police response vehicle every year. Many other innocent bystanders are injured, some times receiving permanent, life-altering injuries.
Brenda has written articles for PursuitSAFETY’s website including The Steven Ehrensperger Story and
If Only….
Brenda has worked for a nonprofit research and development organization since 1981. She serves on the Senior Leadership Team and directs all activities related to grant and contract administration for over $80 million in research funding per year.

Brenda has certifications in professional contract administration from The University of Alabama in Huntsville and the Society of Research Administrators.

Brenda, like PursuitSAFETY, has a passion for protecting the most important people in our lives—the people we love. She plans to fulfill one of her goals by working with PursuitSAFETY to impact the thought processes of our law enforcement officials, especially young officers.
“Public safety should be the goal at all times,” Brenda says. “I believe we can prevent other families from going through the unrelenting pain and grief that my family has suffered needlessly. Most people are unaware that so many innocent people are injured or killed as a result of responder calls and police chases. Most people don’t think much about it— until it happens to someone they love.” call or send an email to Brenda.
"The world is also diminished in my eyes because I have tasted the bitterness that comes from having the most tragic event of your life treated coldly and without regard by those whose primary concern is to avoid accountability. A sincere ‘I’m sorry your son died’ from those responsible, and more responsiveness on the part of our public officials, would have gone a long way.” —Brenda H. Ehrensperger |
