Mike Willis, law enforcement national training and program director, United States Deputy Sheriff’s Association, explains the importance of strategic decision-making when choosing a stop location during a high-risk or felony traffic stop .
Key considerations include ensuring personnel are in order, communicating the location, and assessing factors like population density and backdrop. He advises against rushing into a stop and instead suggests following the suspect to gather more resources and plan a coordinated team approach.
Topics he covers include:
Communicating the location and getting personnel in order before initiating a stop.
Considering factors like backdrop, population density, and how vehicles can be set up for different angles when choosing a stop location.
Following the suspect for a distance to get resources in place, rather than rushing to an immediate stop.
