[i]Traffic/Felony Stops/Arrest procedure[/i]


[color=orange]Traffic Stop[/color] - 10-55

[i]A traffic stop is completed when you witness a violation of a traffic infraction, have probable cause, or suspicion. The main goal of a traffic stop is to verify that the driver is licensed and that the vehicle is insured. However, a traffic stop is primarily to stop a person for police contact.

Policy in executing traffic stops:

1.) Emergency lights must be activated behind the target vehicle. IF the vehicle does not initially stop sirens may be used.
2.) The stop must be called in as per radio policy. For example : "LIMA SIERRA 10 10-55 on a black windsor, one IC2 occupant, market ammunation, code four." It is advisable to run the vehicle's plate before stopping it.
3.) If partnered, the driver police member must make contact with the driver on the driver side, and the passenger police member is to make contact on the passenger side of the target vehicle.
4.) Drivers license and proof of insurance must be obtained from the target vehicle's driver. The officer can explain what the reason of the stop was at any time.
5.) The target vehicle can be dealt with accordingly. Once the stop is completed, the outcome must be reported over the radio. For example: "LIMA SIERRA 10, citation issued on my 10-55, clear from Market Ammunation."
[/i]


[color=red]Felony Stop[/color] - 10-66

[i]A felony stop is conducted after the commission of a felony crime. The driver may have a felony warrant, or has committed a felony prior to it being in contact with police, or during its contact with police.

Policy in executing felony stops:

1.) Emergency lights must be activated behind the target vehicle. IF the vehicle does not initially stop sirens may be used.
2.) Emergency back up must be called over the CENTRAL radio as it is an emergency request. For example over central: "LIMA SIERRA 10 10-66 on a black windsor, market ammunation, 10-70 code 3."
3.) A minimum of two units is needed for one occupant of the vehicle. A minimum of three units is needed for two occupants of a vehicle, so on and so forth.
4.) Cruiser 1, being the initiating unit, is to be behind the target vehicle. Cruiser 2 is to position itself beside Cruiser 1. Cruiser 3 is to position itself behind Cruiser 1, so on and so forth.
5.) The initiating unit is expected to issue voice commands. At least one unit must be in their car in case the target vehicle evades. It is also normal for one officer, who is not the initiator or pursuit car, to be out of the vehicle and aiming at the car with a duty firearm.
6.) The suspect should be commanded to throw the keys out of the car, exit with their hands up facing away from officers, stepping away from the car, and lowering themselves on the pavement. Once this is done officers can move in and detain the person(s).
7.) The suspect's vehicle must be cleared by an officer to make sure no one is hiding.
8.) Conduct standard arrest procedure.
[/i]

[color=red]Arrest Procedure[/color]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/AhyzzZQ.png?1[/img]

[img]http://i45.tinypic.com/x3vj1v.png[/img]

This model of ROE should be followed. Lethal force is only to be used if a suspect points a firearm at an officer or any other person. Also, if the officer feels that there is an imminent threat of death towards any officer or civilian, deadly force may be used. If a suspect attacks an officer with a blunt object, such as a bat or pipe, deadly force may be used. However, the ROE matrix must be followed.

[b]When to call for SWAT:[/b]

If there is a high priority or very dangerous suspect, SWAT should be called. If an armed  suspect enters a building, you CANT go after them. SWAT should be called in. If SWAT personnel are not on duty, you are required to PM/POKE them on TS3, and explain them what is going on.

You [b]MUST[/b] call for SWAT when there is a bank robbery or if there is a high priority suspect

[i][color=red]Corruption Rules OOC/IC[/color][/i]

A pursuit is when a vehicle fails to stop for a police officer, and knowingly attempts to evade.

Policy on pursuits:

[b]Vehicle Pursuit[/b]

1.) When a pursuit is initiated it must be called in over CENTRAL radio as it is an emergency backup request. Communications must be taken to a TAC channel. For example: "LIMA SIERRA 10 10-57 Victor on a black windsor, market, TAC 1".
2.) SAFETY is the number ONE priority when in pursuit of a vehicle. Only pursue a vehicle if it is completely necessary. For example if a suspect is wanted for evading, and you know their name it is required to call off the pursuit.
3.) Police vehicles should be in single file when chasing the suspect. If it is absolutely necessary to take over another police vehicle's position, VERBAL COMMUNICATION is mandatory.
4.) When driving in a pursuit, or driving code 3, it is normal for civilian vehicles to move to the right. Police vehicles should stay to the left side of the lane/section of road as much as possible.
5.) If the vehicle stops and the driver does not surrender, felony stop procedures can be followed. If they flee on foot, officers may pursue.
