There are other opportunities in the game but this was the one I obtained the achievement in.
When your chasing down a suspect on foot, and you get close enough to them your be prompted to press Repeatedly, this gives the Detective the extra speed needed to chase them down and tackle them to the floor.
After your finished talking to Hugo Moller a nearby resident calls the Detectives over for a quick chat. During this time your see Hugo doing some incriminating stuff in his yard. Your make your way over to his yard where the chase will start. His one of the slowest people to chase down, keep a eye out for anything you might get stuck on and once your close enough hit to tackle him.
This achievement will then unlock.
When you are on a mission and the suspect is fleeing. Chase him on the foot. When you got near enough. On the screen is the X popping up. Just push the X many times. And then when you are geeting him. The trophy will pop up.
Cases: The Golden Butterfly x2 [Homicide], The Studio Secretary Murder [Homicide], The Black Caesar [AD Vice] & The Gas Man [Arson].
Street Crimes: Few
There's plenty of opportunities to gain this achievement. In many cases or street crimes a suspect will make a run for it. Some chases will either end by you having to fire a warning shot, the suspect taking a hostage or a fight scene, but during all this you may get a chance to tackle them. To tackle a running suspect you'll first need to make sure you're holding to keep up with them.
After a while the suspect will slow down and as you get closer you'll be prompted to tap . When this happens, tap rapidly to get a sudden burst of speed and you'll then make a dive and tackle the suspect.

While chasing a fleeing suspect you will have the optional to tackle the suspect, but only if Cole doesn’t have his gun out. If Cole's gun isn’t out you will need to stay close to the suspect. Once you are close enough, you will be prompted to press rapidly; you will see Cole start to run a lot faster, there will be a short cutscene once you get close to the suspect to tackle him. The video below is from the case "The Golden Butterfly" on the Homicide Desk.
