- De-escalation begins with the understanding of the 4th amendment as it applies to vehicle stops.
- The 7-step violator interview is discussed to meet the constitutional requirements when making a seizure of a violator.

Strategic Traffic Operations (STOPS)

• The underlying theme of the seminar is to identify the origin of apathy to traffic enforcement and provide an approach to recruit new agencies, partners, and stakeholders to join in the effort
• A section on the Data-Driven approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) is briefly covered and attendees are encouraged to reach out to IADELEST for the full DDACTS training seminar
• With the widespread use of recording devices from law enforcement and the general public there have been countless unprofessional vehicle stops captured and shared around the world.
• The seven-step violator interview is explained as a professional and constitutionally sound method to maintain professionalism during the encounter
• Discussion will include techniques used across the country to market the need and philosophy behind aggressive enforcement and how law enforcement can use them.

What the Public Expects from Emergency Services Video
Data Informed Community Engagement & Data Based Enforcement
• It is estimated over 42,000 Americans were killed on the highways and byways of America in 2020. Interestingly enough our country was in COVID lockdown.
• With calls for police reform, cutting budgets and defunding law enforcement all together, many agencies have decided vehicle enforcement units will be deleted and the role absorbed by patrol.
• Society rarely concerns themselves with the cause and effect of vehicle crashes.
• The sensationalism of a pandemic, gun violence and terrorism receive the most media attention when the real killer continues relatively unnoticed.
• Traffic enforcement is viewed by the law enforcement community as “Not Real Police Work”. SWAT and Gang units train and deploy in circumstances that warrant a response, where special investigators, burglary, sexual assault, and homicide, work to solve crimes. All of which are reactive.
• The sad truth is more citizens are effected by crashes from aggressive and distracted driving,
• Vehicle stops are the only proactive law enforcement effort. Violators, drugs, guns, illegal money and criminals are apprehended using the vehicle / driver engagement.
• This seminar stresses the importance of continuing vehicle enforcement.
• Data-informed community engagement and data-based Enforcement are operational models designed to marry the investigators, SWAT, and gang units with the problem of citizens being injured or killed in the community in traffic crashes.
• These models have proven effective with every agency that deployed the principals. Most see a reduction of calls for service, violent and property crime as well as crashes in the first year.
• The philosophies use recent crime and crash data to provide a strategic approach and guidance for the resource efficiency of the agency.
