Yes.. an off duty officer can give chase. An officer is never "Off duty". 
He can not however chase you above the posted speed limit if there are 
civilians in the car.

Town cops can not do ANYTHING about you speeding if you are not in their 
town. They can stop you only on felony charges out of their jurisdiction.

commisioner's secretary... I ask a lot of questions.  :)
