Which Need for Speed game features the 'Pursuit Tech' system for police?

The story behind the answer

Need for Speed: Rivals features the Pursuit Tech system for police and racer equipment.

Released in 2013, Rivals lets players choose between two careers: Racer and Cop. Both sides can equip Pursuit Tech, a collection of tactical gadgets used during high-speed chases. Police equipment includes tools such as roadblocks, spike strips, helicopter support, shock rams, and EMP attacks. Racers can use countermeasures including turbo boosts, jammer effects, shockwaves, and stun mines.

The system turns pursuits into more than ordinary driving contests. Players select two gadgets, upgrade their equipment, and use them offensively or defensively while racing through Redview County. Rivals is sometimes confused with Hot Pursuit (2010), which also features police weapons, or Most Wanted (2012), which includes pursuit technology under a different presentation. Rivals is the title most directly associated with the named Pursuit Tech system and its two-sided Cop-versus-Racer progression.
