According to the description of Law Enforcement
Vehicle Pullovers and Traffic Stop Operations, “Every officer can protect himself/herself by being aware
of tactics for personal safety during traffic enforcement stops, and when apprehending known or suspected criminals. This
instructional guide is not intended to be all inclusive, but is provided to assist the officer in recognizing situations which
require certain tactics in order to enhance officer safety and survival. Only rarely should circumstances force an officer
into a potentially dangerous stop without assistance. Even then the officer should consider moving to a point of surveillance
and awaiting assistance. Superiority of numbers, not the braver ol a single officer, is the best deterrent against officer
assaults. Certain fundamentals, such as care of equipment, caution, proper planning, effective training, tactics and skill
development are critical to effective vehicle pullovers. This is a basic guide developed for preliminary tactical training.
