Post Academy Training (P.A.T. School): Roadside Investigations
Patrol officers spend a significant portion of their time on or near the roadway, interacting with the public through traffic stops, consensual encounters, or other investigative contacts. This class focuses on the investigative, legal, and safety components of "roadside" encounters-from the moment of observation through post-stop procedures. Participants will enhance their understanding of constitutional and statutory law governing vehicle stops and searches, while improving their ability to identify criminal indicators, assess threats, and apply sound tactical decision-making in dynamic roadside environments.
