Officer s will be trained in risk assessments and proven methods to counter feloni ous and accidental assaults. \; Vehicle stops will be broken into 12 a mbush zones for the officer to be aware of and escape techniques to counte r assaults.\nThe STOPS program is based on research from officers injured or killed in the line of duty. \; We then developed strategies and tac tics that countered the assaults\, significantly increasing the officer’s survival probability. \; The STOPS program is nationally and internati onally recognized as the leading program in tactical/officer survival trai ning available.\nVehicle stops will be divided into low-risk\, unknown-ris k\, and high-risk. \; Each category has pre-planned options to minimiz e the chances of being assaulted by both accidental and felonious means. & nbsp\;The officer’s goal during the course is to always think about the sa fest way to deal with every situation while recognizing danger cues.   \;STOPS students will dominate through superior training and a warrior min dset when an assault is attempted.\nSTOPS training is realistic with both classroom and dynamic field exercises. \;

Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.” -George S. Patton\n Course Overview Interdiction is widely taught across the country. \; Various classes teach on this topic\, whether learning “The Drive” or empl oying a high volume of stops.  \;However\, the “tactics” to keep the i nterdiction officer safe are constantly overlooked or rarely highlighted.& nbsp\; STOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction is a training program that str esses proactive officers’ safety\, giving them a foundation for success in the interdiction world.\nSTOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction focuses on tactics the proactive officer should utilize when seeking the criminal ele ment.  \;We have developed a tactical course that breaks the stop/cont act into three parts: the beginning\, middle\, and end of contact.  \; Using these concentrated training areas\; we can identify where tactics ne ed to override habit\, routine\, and complacency.  \;While taking drug s\, guns\, and criminals off our roads is pivotal to interdiction\, it is more important to get home to loved ones at the end of the shift.  \;T his course outlines practical and easy-to-implement tactics to employ when hunting down criminals in your jurisdiction.  \;With a combination of classroom and outdoor instruction\, this course will cover the rapid asse ssment needed to categorize a traffic stop properly.  \;We will highli ght several tactics taught in the STOPS program\, including an in-depth br eakdown of Unknown Risk Stops.  \;Using these proven tactics can accen tuate the ability to read verbal and non-verbal cues of criminal activity.  \;While this is not a class covering specifics of a roadside intervi ew or hidden compartments\, it is an overview of interdiction\, where to e mploy it\, and the differences between street and highway interdiction. &n bsp\;Tactics taught here work in either application.\nWhat will the studen t learn?\n\nApproach patterns on a traffic stop with emphasis on the passe nger-side approach.\nWalk-Back and Walk-Thru patterns used taught in STOPS Unknown-Risk techniques.\nHow to determine between a Low-Risk and Unknown -Risk traffic stop.\nHow to escape from Ambush Positions\, which are outli ned in the classroom.\nHow to safely search under consent and proper place ment of violator(s) and back-up.\nCase law pertinent to stopping vehicles and then leading into a consensual or PC search.\n\nWhat will the student be required to do?\n\nThe student will learn from a structured PowerPoint in the classroom covering facts and outlines of tactics to be employed lat er in outdoor/field training.  \;There will be a breakdown of several vital videos showing why these tactics are necessary for successful interd iction.\nThis course combines classroom and outdoor activities to keep the student engaged and interested in learning concepts to enhance their abil ity to seek out the criminal element\, quickly identify it\, and be prepar ed if a lethal force encounter occurs\n\nCourse Breakdown\nTrain Hard * Tr ain to Win\nCourse Intensity The content and pace of this course will be c hallenging for most students.  \;Some videos in this course may shock those with a more sensitive conscience.\nPhysically Demanding This course’ s style combines classroom lectures and outdoor practical applications\; t he student must successfully demonstrate the ability to escape from ambush zones.\nMentally Challenging Seeking out the criminal that has masked him self within the general innocent motoring public is not easy.  \;Condu cting rapid assessments of violators while also staying tactical is challe nging and will be addressed throughout this training course.  \;Studen ts will analyze situations represented in videos and reach conclusions abo ut safer tactics to use while conducting interdiction stops.\nCore Buildin g Proactive officers engage in traffic stops daily.  \;Now\, more than ever\, officers dealing with the public on traffic stops or other calls f or service are under the microscope.  \;Completing this course will pr ovide students with a foundation rooted in safe tactics and professionalis m that will lead to successful interactions with criminals and the innocen t motoring public.\n\nStudent Take Away\n\nSeveral approach patterns for i nitial walk-up to a violator and options for calling the violator back to the patrol vehicle\nA clear understanding of interdiction\, why it is need ed\, and the differences between street and highway interdiction\nRecogniz ing ambush zones and quickly escaping them in a lethal force confrontation \nA safe and effective way to search vehicles while in contact with a viol ator\n\nCourse Accreditation/Certification/Completion\n\nThe student will receive a certificate of course completion.\n\nCourse Hours\n\n1\, 2\, or three-day course options available. \;
