Traffic Stops

The top priority of law enforcement is the safety and well-being of the public. If pulled over, police will see if there is a possible incident, crime or minor violation of law. If stopped by law enforcement, you should: • Pull off to the right-hand side of the road when you see emergency lights flashing

Driving Situations

• Put your vehicle in park, turn off your car and radio

• Stay in your vehicle and keep your seatbelt on

• Roll down your window

• Put your hands on the top of the steering wheel in plain sight

• Do not make any sudden movements or reach for things around you

• Do not argue if given a ticket. You will have an opportunity in front of a judge or court to express concerns. Stay calm and follow the officers’ directions. You will get back on your way as soon as possible.
