if there is a known weapon, would you do a roadblock? What's the preparatory command and how many times would you say it for a rolling roadblock? Avenue of Escape Communication for using roadblock during pursuit What will happen if violator runs off road? Are there other hazards such as nearby gas stations, pow- er poles, pedestrians, bayous, etc? Can Privately owned vehicles be used to stop pursuits? Is firing at or from a moving vehicle prohibited? Pivot point of the vehicle? What speed do we out run our siren? Off-road recovery Counter steering Threshold braking all be favorable.

  • Protect other highway users No "move, move,move" "slow, slow, slow" " stop, stop, stop" An opening or a gap in a roadblock wide enough to permit a vehicle to safely bypass or negotiate the roadblock at a reasonable speed. Allowing suflcient distance for the suspect vehicle to stop before approaching the roadblock is also considered an avenue of escape. Approval from supervision (1112- 8 - ii) Dispatch knows exact location Pursuing units know exact location Always assume an impact (risk v. gain) Privately owned vehicles shall not be used without specific consent of the owner or operator. Prohibited except where the use of deadly force is justified as set forth in P.O. 238, Use of Force. Rear axle 55 MPH Aim for 45 degrees to steer back on road, always steer away from contact to avoid mass collision Turning the vehicle's front tires in the desired direction to regain traction A braking technique in which the driver firmly presses the brake pedal to a point just before the wheels lock up.

Factors on deciding to continue a pursuit: Rear wheel cheat Understeer Caster Two worst spots to work a crash? 3 components of driving Distracted driver Pursuit rage Road Blocks Yes, if you drive without due regard. A police oflcer's attempt to terminate a dangerous high-speed car chase that threatens the lives of innocent bystanders does not violate the fourth amendment, even when it places the fleeing motorist at risk of serious injury or death. inside, outside, inside S-curve Weather condition, time of day, hazard, school zone, and type of vehicle When driving forward, the rear wheels will cross path of the front wheels when the vehicle is turning.

  1. Awareness
  2. Space Management
  3. Collision Avoidance Inattentive to surroundings. Hands/mind elsewhere. An aggravated condition that occurs to an oflcer during the stress of pursuit or other emergency driving which may assist in the oflcer making improper or dangerous decisions. The obstacles set up by our own thinking, attitudes, or behaviors that prevent us from being mentally healthy

  1. Perception time
  2. Reaction time
  3. Braking distance
  4. Blind spot
  5. Weight
  6. Center of gravity Drive within the law, knowledge of stopping distances, and how the focal point will keep you out crash situations.
