Out Of The Darkness And Into The Blue

My career was spent primarily as a road patrol officer. The majority of my road patrol duties consisted of traffic law enforcement. Traffic law enforcement has simply one primary goal: "Save Lives". However, traffic violations result in much more than just pulling people over and writing tickets. Remember, a cop is a hunter. Looking deeper, and farther into the traffic stop than you may think. What are we looking for? Much more than just a speeding ticket...there is always more. Such as: wanted subjects, illegal guns, drugs, stolen vehicles, stolen property. We are always digging much, more and hunting out criminal behavior. How do illegal drugs, guns, and people traverse our country? BY VEHICLE... I am also going to give those cops out there the tactical tips needed to survive traffic patrol. So many time, cops are murdered in the line of duty. "If you get shot...then what?" Keep this in mind as you listen. (Traffic stop survival tactics) This is exactly how I was nearly killed on March 4, 1990. Follow
