NC BLET traffic techniques
Five major phases of enforcement action and four types of traffic apprehension - ANSDetection,
prosecution, apprehension, adjudication, penalization
physical arrest, citation, written warning, verbal warning
seven methods of observing traffic - ANSLine patrol, area patrol, directed patrol, stationary
observation, conspicuous observation, visible observation, concealed observation
One method of conducting selective traffic enforcement - ANSSaturation patrol- commonly used
— high number of officers in limited area
Proper procedures used in visually estimating The speed of a vehicle and clocking vehicles by
use of speedometer - ANSApproximation, pacing
What is approximation - ANSApproximation - process and technique of visually estimating the
speed of a moving vehicle sometimes WITHOUT use of corroborating information
What is pacing - ANSRequires officer to get patrol vehicle close enough to speeding vehicle and
procure accurate speed through following
What is an acceptable method to demonstrate an officer has an accurate patrol vehicle
speedometer - ANSCertified RADAR or LIDAR operator perform a series of speed
measurement tests/checks of patrol vehicle utilizing various speed limits Inside of jurisdiction
What is a tactically safe unknown risk traffic stop include - ANSlocation of stop - critically select
safe location
calling In the stop - before activating
position patrol vehicle and observe from patrol vehicle
approach suspect vehicle with care - exit quietly/illuminate/approach carefully
T/f never reach into a violators vehicle to turn ignition off with the violator in driver seat -
ANSTrue
What are the two tactical approaches to a violators vehicle - ANSDriver side approach
passenger side approach
disadvantage to driver side approach - ANSNo element of surprise
escape route is limited for Officer
directly exposed to oncoming traffic
Disadvantage to side approach - ANSVisual contact with occupants might be compromised
