| The acronym COP stands | Community Oriented Policing |
| Is regarded as the father of Community Oriented Policing (COP) | Herman Goldstein |
| Is an agency-wide philosophy promoting community partnerships to address the causes of crime and other community issues | Community policing |
| The 2 core components of COP is | Community partnerships and problem solving |
| This increases the understanding and trust between law enforcement agencies and community members | Community partnerships |
| Law enforcement representatives (elected, sworn or civilian), governmental representatives (public housing, mental health agencies), and community representatives (local businesses, professional groups, neighborhood leaders) are all examples of | Possible community partners |
| Community partnerships are essential in developing the second component of COP, which is | Problem solving |
| By developing long-term, proactive programs and strategies to address local problems exist to inform law enforcement agencies about | Pertinent issues in the community, establishing rapport and understanding with the public about the agencies' methods to deter crime |
| Provides a tool for officers to proactively find solutions to community issues, problem-solving component of COP | SARA Model |
| The acronym SARA stands for | Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment |
| Takes a broad, intense view of a particular area or series of events to accurately describe community problems | Scanning phase |
| These questions are used to during the scanning element of SARA to answer descriptions | Have you identified a problem? How do you perceive the problem? How do those outside law enforcement perceive the problem? Does your perception differ from others' perceptions?If yes/how? How serious is the problem? Is the problem a law enforcement issue? |
| Helps determine the cause of the problem by collecting information from various sources | Analysis phase |
| Information gathered during the scanning phase should be gathered from everyone affected by the issue not just using | Law enforcement data |
| Allows officers the opportunity to respond to the problem by working with citizens, businesses, and public agencies | Response phase |
| The keys to Community Oriented Policing are the | Creative and long-term solutions resulting from thorough data collection and analysis during the Response phase |
| Problem solving generally produces one of five beneficial results: | The problem is eliminated,the problem is substantially reduced, the harm by the problem is reduced, a better method of handling the problem is found, the problem is found to be outside the realm of law enforcement |
| Is a developmental tool that enhances problem-solving capabilities | SECURE |
| The acronym SECURE stands for | Safety, Ethics, Community, Understanding, Response and Evaluation |
| When responding to a crime in progress or making a public service call, an officer can review the SECURE model to ensure a | Safe, ethical, and effective response |
| The SECURE model is an approach to all situations, emphasizes law enforcement fundamentals, such as | Maintaining safety and serving public interest, and provides a framework for responding effectively |
| Is the leading concern for officers | Safety |
| Techniques and procedures used should ensure the protection of the officer, public, and all persons involved such as victims, suspects, witnesses, or bystanders | Safety |
| Sworn officers have the authority to | Arrest individuals, use force to do so, and use deadly force if necessary. Must always consider ethics and use these powers within the limits of the law |
| Must treat all individuals with as much respect and consideration as the situation allows, regardless of the person's | Race, gender, or culture (Ethics) |
| Stands for the idea that officers serve the public, complaint, neighbors, and in a broader sense, the entire community | Community |
| Gather and analyze information to understand a situation before proceeding officer must know the who, what, where, when, how and why of the situation | Understanding |
| To understand a situation an officer must determine the | Who, what, when, where, how, and why of the situation |
| Depends on the level of understanding and the options available | Response |
| The officer must do this in order to determine if the problem has been dealt with successfully | Evaluation |
| Evaluation depends | Agency policies, the significance of the problem, and the impact of not resolving the problem |
| The officer or supervisor may want to review officer performance to determine if | The response could be improved or to prevent the same errors in the future |
| Each year, a majority of officer deaths and injuries occur due to | Lack of planning, lapsed training, carelessness, or overconfidence |
| A key for patrol officer's is the ability to | Remain alert and observe surroundings |
| To perform their jobs effectively, officers should get a | Proper amount of rest and sleep |
| Especially in stressful situations, officers must rely on | Training and not emotional reactions |
| To handle the demands of dangerous situations, an officer must be in | Proper physical shape |
| An officer in poor shape endangers | Him- or herself, other officers, and the public |
| An officer's body is an important piece of equipment that must be maintained as regularly as a | Firearm or patrol vehicle |
| When making contact with anyone an officer should always watch that person's hands to possible | Intercept a weapon before it can be used |
| Proper handcuffing is important for controlling suspects but an officer should | Never assume that a handcuffed suspect is no longer a threat (Hank Earl Carr) |
| Officers have an array of equipment including | Primary weapons, secondary weapons, flashlights, handcuffs, and subject control spray |
| Vehicles have an array of equipment that may have | Spotlights, takedown lights, a public address system, emergency lights, and sirens |
| If an officer does not use the proper equipment or if it is improperly maintained or dirty, he or she could be | Seriously injured or killed |
| All equipment should be inspected on a | Regular basis and kept clean and in working order at all times |
| Serious injury or death may occur if an officer fails to | Continuously train and maintain proficiency |
| Officers must be fully prepared to use the firearm | Safely and effectively |
| To enhance their ability, officers should | Attend training programs and seek current information regarding up-to-date training |
| Constant training coupled with ---- ----- -------- will help officers develop the midset and attitude required to maintain officer and public safety | Real world experience |
| Are the first line of defense and are developed and improved through practice such as memorizing car descriptions and observing pedestrians and environmental details. | Good observation skills |
| When observing others, officer's should note people's appearance including | Height, weight, hair, clothing, or other distinguishing traits |
| Officers should focus on indicators of what is usual or unusual and not be distracted by a few elements but | Observe the entire scene before making a judgment |
| Organizing and attaching meaning to sensations so that they can be interpreted | Perception |
| Preception is the core of | Observation |
| Perception is affected by various factors such as | The observer's sex, race, environmental conditions, past experience, education, maturity, bias, mental and physical condition, and his or her position or location |
| Is often the starting point for officer action | Sight |
| Factors that can affect officers vision are | Environmental and physical |
| Officer's vision can be affected by visual defects like | Nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia) |
| Color distortion can be caused from | Lighting from sources like streetlights or fluorescent lamps |
| Dimly lit objects tend to blend into the background and are | Harder to distinguish |
| An officer who stops briefly after entering a dark area to allowing his or her eyes to adjust is using a technique for | Visually adapting to darkness |
| Is used to identify elements such as voices, engines, and firearms | Hearing |
| Factors that can affect an officer's hearing and prevent from identifying indicators of a crime are | Traffic, noises from residences, peripheral noises, environmental |
| Used to identify dangerous substances by their odor | Smell |
| Many factors can affect an officer's sense of smell, such as | Officer's health, weather conditions, outside environment, temporarily deaden by strong odors (gasoline or ether) |
| May sometimes use to identify items during a search or pat down | Touch |
| Touch also verifies the presence of heat in | Tires, hood/engines, walls or other surfaces can indicate a fire |
| Officer's should be cautious about touching possible | Evidence or disturbing a crime scene |
| To identify any unknown substance which may cause them to become very ill or die, an officer should never use | Taste |
| True survival readiness involves | Practical preparedness, firearm proficiency, and first aid skills |
| Acquiring and maintaining true survival skills can be accomplished through mental conditioning by practicing how to react in | Different situations, tactical preparedness, and proper training and retraining |
| Protects officers from rounds being fired | Cover |
| Examples of cover include | Utility poles, automobiles, brick walls, dirt embankments, concrete, steel, and thick wood |
| Is an object or environment that provides camouflage for an officer but will not stop bullets | Concealment |
| Examples of concealment include | Scrubs, fences, display cases, and objects that keep an officer hidden but provide position from which he or she can observe |
| If an officer can choose between cover or concealment, it is preferable to use | Cover |
| An officer can be prepared to use survival skills by | Studying, mentally rehearsing, and constantly practicing safety procedures |
| The narrowing of the attention field due to stress caused by such elements as a vehicle pursuit, foot chase, armed confrontation, or other high stress situations | Tunnel vision |
| There are several safety tips an officer must remember when on patrol | Avoid tunnel vision, always identify themselves and give direct commands, disarm a suspect before leaving cover, attacked from sniper (car)drive from area or (foot) seek cover/call for assistance/determine a safe approach for responding officers |
| If an officer shoots a suspect, dispatch should be notified | As soon as possible |
| "Stop!" and "Don't move!" are examples of | Direct commands |
| Officers who believe a suspect is armed should use appropriate tactics with backup officers to | Contact, control, and disarm the suspect |
| To verbally disarm a suspect of a weapon, the officer (from cover) should tell the suspect to | Turn away from the officer, drop any weapons, and step away from them. |
| To verbally disarm a suspect of a firearm, the officer (from cover) should tell the suspect to | Remove his or her finger from the trigger, slowly lay down the gun, and step away from it |
| While in a patrol vehicle or on foot patrol, a suspect may attack an officer by | Sniper fire, firebombs, rocks , or other missiles |
| If an attack occurs while in a patrol vehicle, the officer should | Accelerate away from the area, roll up windows, turn off air conditioning to prevent chemicals from seeping inside the vehicle |
| If a sniper attack occurs while on foot the officer should | Seek immediate cover, call for assistance, and determine a safe approach for responding vehicles |
| Is a physical or emotional reaction to an event or situation | Stress |
| Stress may come from perceived or real threat or a physiological or psychological response to a | Demanding situation or change |
| The body's normal reaction or preparation when facing a threat is | Fight or flight |
| The four general stress levels are | Acute, Chronic, Accumulative, Delayed |
| Is short-lived and similar to what people experience taking a test or giving a speech | Acute stress |
| Continues a long time, such as stress felt during a difficult two-year training program | Chronic stress |
| Results from a variety of sources over time | Accumulative stress |
| Lies buried for a period of time and then resurfaces | Delayed stress |
| An individual cares for a close relative during a long illness, ignoring the stress only to feel it later is an example of what type of stress | Delayed stress |
| Domestic, financial, and career problems are examples of what type of stress | Accumulative stress |
| A two-year training program is an example of what type of stress | Chronic stress |
| Taking a test or giving a speech are an examples of what type of stress | Acute stress |
| If an attack occurs while in a patrol vehicle, the officer should | Accelerate away from the area, roll up windows, turn off air conditioning to prevent chemicals from seeping inside the vehicle |
| If a sniper attack occurs while on foot the officer should | Seek immediate cover, call for assistance, and determine a safe approach for responding vehicles |

| The factors that cause stress | Stressors |
| The four general categories of stressors are | Environmental, personal, self-induced, and work-related |
| Involve elements of an officer's surroundings such as weather or high noises, that could add mental strain | Environmental stressors |
| This stressor depends on the individual's likes or dislikes | Personal stressors |
| Affect an individual's perception of situations and event | Self-induced stressors |
| Elements of an officer's job that cause physical or emotional distress | Work-related stressors |
| This is an example of what type of stressor: moving from air-conditioned patrol vehicle to a humid environment | Environmental |
| This is an example of what type of stressor: trauma related to injury or death or financial or family difficulties | Personal |
| This is an example of what type of stressor: very specific to the individual and include personal attitudes towards work, perceptions of others, and work-related goals | Self-induced |
| This is an example of what type of stressor: ineffectual or delayed court procedures and court decisions restricting law enforcement powers, daily patrolling, danger of patrolling, boredom | Work-related |
| Stress can affect an individual in many ways, the two stress responses are | Short-term and long-term |
| Within short-term responses stress are different stress responses such as | Health-related, job performance-related, domestic-related |
| Temporary increases in anxiety, tension, and irritability are what type of stress responses | Short-term |
| Headaches, blood pressure changes, and excessive eating are related to what stress response | Health (Short-term) |
| Erratic work habits and decreased productivity are related to what stress response | Job (Short-term) |

| Sudden behavior changes, erratic work habits, excessive accidents or injuries, fatigue, sleeping and eating disorders, excessive worry, excessive alcohol or drug use, and complaints from peers and/or citizens about negative interactions | Are the most common warning signs of stress in officers |
| Techniques that an officer can use for reducing stress are: | Regular physical exercise, aerobic exercise (running, swimming, or bicycling), healthy lifestyle, getting 7-8 hours of sleep, avoiding excessive amounts of (fats, sugar, caffeine & alcohol), extended vacation |
| Consequences of not monitoring emotional well-being and reducing stress are affects on an officer's | Personal live and job performance |
| Poor job performance may lead to | Poor judgment, liability issues, absenteeism and complaints |
| Is the main activity officers perform daily | Patrolling |
| The primary purpose of patrolling is to | Maintain a public presence, enforce laws and ordinances, and deter crime |
| The two types of patrol are | Reactive and proactive |
| Is taking a responsive or after-the-fact role in dealing with crime, requires immediate response to an incident, traditional policing | Reactive patrol |
| Discourages criminal activity through an officer's high visibility, continuously travel through the patrol area and speak to people for short periods | Proactive patrol |
| Is a brief meeting attended before a shift | Roll call |
| Officers should record all roll call information that may affect their shift including | Addresses that require or request extra patrol, wanted and missing persons, stolen vehicles, stolen and lost vehicle tags, suspicious incidents, officer safety bulletins, and safety concerns |
| An officer should never assume others have maintained equipment and must routinely ensure each piece of equipment is | In working order, fully equipped, and safely stored |
| Patrol vehicles should be checked to make sure elements are in good shape, items to be checked are | Emergency lights, tires, and emergency equipment (fire extinguishers, biohazard gear and first aid kits) |
| Contains detailed information relating to situations | BOLO (Be On the Look Out) |
| A BOLO may be released by local, state, or national agencies for some of the following: | Description of a missing person, stolen vehicle, suspicious activity, or a specific are needing extra patrol attention |
| Printed information, photographs, verbal reports, electronic messaging or internet postings are all ways to | Disperse a BOLO |
| Following agency policies and procedures when filing a BOLO, officers should identify all significant information on a suspect including | Name, description, date of birth, outstanding warrants and criminal history by running FCIC/NCIC check |
| The BOLO should include: | Suspect's name & location; location of the incident; reason for the BOLO; alleged violation and/or reason wanted; person, vehicle, or property description; and last known mode and direction of travel |
| Possible sources of photographs are: | Prior arrest photos, driver's license photographs, security videotapes, and photos obtained from family members |
| One of the first things new patrol officers must learn is | The layout of their assigned area, district, or jurisdiction |
| Knowing these locations will help officers become familiar with the assigned area and enable them to respond quickly: | Major roadways, landmarks, crime hazards, community habits, and emergency medical treatment and mental health facility locations, community resources (shelters, social service agencies, internal resources) |
| Repeated calls for service in a particular location may present an opportunity for the officer or agency to | Initiate crime-prevention programs and promote local civic meetings |
| An officer should always have a map with the following highlighted | Important landmarks and patrol areas highlighted |
| Officer's should identify groups in his area such as | Neighborhood watch, business owners, mail carriers, utility and sanitation workers |
| Is anything abnormal at a specific time of day in a particular area | Suspicious activity |
| High visibility, greater accessibility to the community, and the ability to closely investigate community concerns and observe activity in specific areas are advantages of | Foot patrols |
| Usually the most effective patrolling that allows officers to cover a larger area and closely observe specific area are | Vehicle and foot patrol |
| Is anything that poses a threat to people who encounter it | Safety hazard |
| An officer who uses proactive patrolling alleviates potential hazards and protecting the community by | Identifying and removing safety hazards |
| Once dispatch has notified an officer of a call, he or she should respond by | Giving identification, current location, and confirmation of response |
| When selecting a route officers should | Identify the safest and quickest roads to the call |
| The most direct call may not be the | Quickest |
| Things an officer must consider when determining a route is | Construction projects, street closings, special events may present obstacles, traffic, time of day, school zones, and congested areas |
| Prior to arriving at the scene, the officer should turn off | Emergency lights and sirens at an adequate distance from the scene and reduce speed |
| Depending on agency policies, officers can turn off the vehicle headlights at night in order to approach a scene without being detected and should turn down | The volume on radios and notify dispatch of their arrival by radio, cell phone, or computer to avoid excess noise |
| To make a preliminary assessment of a call officer's should | Collect as much information as possible and whether other incidents have occurred at this location and nature |
| To avoid driving past the address and alerting suspects to the officer's presence, officers should use | Streets that run parallel to the location of the call and stop short of the location and approach on foot. |
| Upon arriving at the scene of a call officers should identify: | Suspicious vehicles or people leaving the immediate area of the call |
| To help identify potential suspects officers should: | Write down tags of vehicles leaving the area, taking notes of people moving about or forming crowds, parked cars with motors running, hidden suspects |
| A preliminary assessment of the immediate are should be done from | The patrol car |
| When exiting the patrol vehicle officers should do to reduce noise | Gently and quietly close the door, place keys and other loose objects in pockets or secure items |
| Officers need to immediately identify areas that can be used for | Cover and concealment |
| The best tactical position should be taken and maintained especially if the officer is waiting for | Backup |
| From cover or concealment, officers should identify places where a suspect could potentially hide such as | Roofs and nearby vehicles |
| To carefully check suspicious vehicles for occupants officers should | Approach on foot |
| To determine if a vehicle has recently been driven at night, an officer should | Feel the hood of the vehicle |
| Officers should use caution while checking the exterior perimeter of a building when approaching | Corners, windows, and doors |
| Other possible hazards officers must remain conscious of are | Animals, clotheslines, garbage cans, sprinkler heads, swimming pools |
| When examining the exterior of a building, officers must carry the flashlight in their | Non-weapon hand and hold it away from their body |
| When encountering a suspicious person officers should maintain a | Safe reactionary distance |
| When talking with a suspicious person officers should always watch the person's | Hands and body language |
| By assessing the scene and making initial contact with the victim or witness officers should determine the type of | Complaint (civil, criminal, felony, misdemeanor) |
| Once the officer determines the suspect is not in the area he or she can | Contact and interview the victims and witnesses |
| When officers question a victim or complainant the should ask for | Identification and personal information (proper names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information) |
| These are important for recording the accounts for constructing the report | Good field notes |
| By describing the suspect or positively identifying the suspect will help to establish | Probable cause in the investigation |
| The victim or witness may know other information that can help locate the individual such as: | Places the suspect may have gone, where the suspect may live, location of friends, any known behavior patterns, what kind of vehicle suspect drives |
| The victim or witness may have personal knowledge of the suspect's | Physical, medical, mental and emotional state, ethnic or cultural background |
| To help add to probable cause for future arrest, officers should obtain | Written statements |
| When property is stolen or damaged officers need to get | Description of the property and an estimate of the lost value |
| To help identify lost of stolen property officers the following should be noted in the report and entered into FCIC to help identify the property if found | Serial numbers, owner-applied numbers, unique distinguishing identifiers (scratches or unique parts) |
| Elements of their surrounding that an officer must consider when making contact with a suspect or waiting for backup are | Areas of cover and factors that may affect sight and hearing |
| When contacting a suspect officers should identify appropriate contact/arrest area and identify possible hazards and consider the suspect's | Criminal history, behavior, possibility of having weapons, possible escape routes |
| A suspect may be contained by using | Additional units to establish a perimeter |
| When moving forward to make contact with a suspect an officer should | Approach cautiously and keep visual contact with the person while scanning the surroundings |
| Officers should ensure they keep appropriate distance between themselves and the suspect and stay alert by watching the suspect's | Position, hand or foot movements, look for weapons or signs of weapons |
| If an officer believes the suspect poses a threat or may flee he or she should | Handcuff the suspect immediately |
| The cover officer should not be assigned any duties other than | Maintaining officer safety. Other officers may assist the contact and cover officer as requested |
| During a stop officers should ask suspects for information to be verified in FCIC/NCIC such as | Name, DOB, address, SSN#, legal identification cards |
| If an interview becomes custodial, this must be issued | Miranda warning. Suspect may waive his or her constitutional rights for the interview to continue |
| If the officer is certain the correct suspect has been detained this should be conducted if possible | Show-up identification |
| If the FCIC/NCIC criminal history check reveals an unrelated outstanding warrant in the officers jurisdictions authority to arrest is made even if | Probable cause has not been developed for current case |
| If the warrant is an out-of-state the suspect has committed this and must be held | "Fugitive from justice" |
| Dispatch should confirm the warrant with the | Issuing agency |
| If the issuing agency waives extradition or does not confirm a warrant (reasonable time) the suspect is released at the scene and agency policies vary regarding this action and whether they require a | Report or field contact card |
| If custodial questioning is necessary | Officers must issue Miranda warning |
| If another officer did the first search the transporting officer should | Perform another search |
| During the search items removed during the search should be | Kept beyond the prisoner's reach until they can be secured in the vehicle |
| If resistance is encountered during the loading and transporting of the prisoner the officer should respond with | The appropriate level of force within agency policies and guidelines |
| Before transporting a prisoner an officer should call dispatch and provide | Current location, destination, and beginning vehicle mileage |
| If a prisoner must be transported to a medical facility, officers should follow agency polices in reference to | Accompanying or following in patrol vehicle |
| At the medical facility the prisoner should be constantly observed until | His or her release from the facility |
| Special considerations may need to be made for a prisoner with a | Physical, sensory, or language disability |
| The key when transporting a prisoner with special considerations is have flexibility within the boundaries of | Personal safety and agency policies |
| At a detention facility officers should secure weapon(s) in a locked location such as | Patrol vehicle's trunk, a weapons locker, or a lock box at the drop-off point |
| Officers should remember that even thought they are in a secure facility the booking are can be a | Dangerous place |
| The transporting officer should keep contraband from a prisoner but needs to give the booking officer personal property that has been | Removed from the prisoner and bagged at the scene |
| Juveniles may be taken to an adult jail or police lockup for no more than how many hours and for the purpose of | 6 hours, fingerprinting and photographing as long as they are out of the sight and hearing of adults |
| A detaining officer is responsible for a juvenile in custody who suffers from | Mental illness, medical abnormality, or effects of substance abuse |
| A juvenile is the officer's responsibility until one of the following assumes responsibility | Parents, guardians, or a representative of the DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) |
| Creates a permanent physical record that law enforcement agencies use to identify a person alive or dead and to compare with | Fingerprinting |
| Are taken at booking to provide a visual record of each suspect | Photographs |
| While patrolling citizens may give this to officers | Found property |
| To handle found property officers should | Inventory the item(s), complete a property/receipt form, and give items to the property clerk for storage |
| If found property is not evidence officers should, within department procedures, attempt to | Return the property to the owner |
| One of the most common occurrences a patrol officer will deal with is | Traffic violations |
| A simple traffic infraction can be the catalyst for | Arrest, evidentiary/contraband discoveries, or criminal case resolutions |
| Some of the reasons officers may be called to direct traffic are | Roadway obstructions, traffic crashes, special events, utility repairs, or broken traffic signals |
| When directing traffic, day or night, officers should wear | A reflective safety vest |
| When directing traffic is necessary, since oral commands can confuse drivers and are ineffective officers should use | Hand signals, whistles, flashlight, direction wands, reflective vest and gloves, traffic control box |
| Officers should give equal time to each side of traffic flow unless it is | Heavier on one side than the other |
| Officers should try to follow the traffic signals | Preset patterns |
| When encountering a traffic situation an officer should activate the emergency lights safely park the patrol vehicle | On the shoulder or another location that does not obstruct traffic |
| Is usually the safest place to stand when directing traffic because the officer is most visible to motorists | Center of intersection |
| When directing traffic from somewhere other than an intersection officers must find the safest possible area by avoiding standing | Between two vehicles, directly in front of or behind a vehicle |
| To get a driver's attention officers should do the following | Make eye contact, use a whistle, and use clear, crisp hand movements |
| An officer's job when directing traffic is to | Maintain safety for drivers and pedestrians |
| This Florida Statue states that the driver must bring their car to a complete stop before arriving at an intersection to avoid injuring a pedestrian carrying a cane | 316.1301 |
| It is unlawful for any person not partially or totally blind or otherwise incapacitated to carry a white cane in a raised or extended way an is guilty of a | Misdemeanor of the second degree |
| Directing traffic at night is difficult to make eye contact with drivers because of | Limited visibility |
| Officers can improve their visibility to drivers at night or in rainy weather by using | Flashlight, direction wand, or signal wand |
| When using a flashlight, direction wand, or signal wand an officer should make | Bigger and slower motions cause short, sharp motions may be difficult to interpret |
| Areas with roadway damages that may require special attention from an officer when directing traffic | Potholes, sunken or washed out areas, and broken pavement |
| After inspecting an area that requires special attention the officer should inform dispatch of | The damage, location and what actions need to be taken |
| If damage is sever enough to pose a danger to vehicle traffic officers must | Direct traffic around, request assistance from appropriate department to respond and provide barricades or road signs |
| An officer can only use this to enforce Florida statues parking violations | Uniform Traffic Citation |
| To attach a vehicle violation to the vehicle F.S. statue 316.1945 states that a citation or parking summons in a | Safe , conspicuous place (usually under the windshield wiper) |
| There are 3 ways to identify whether a driver violates F.S. 316.1945 and they are | Stop, Stand, Park |
| When prohibited, any halting, even momentarily, of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or to comply with the directions of LEO or traffic control sign or signal | Stop or Stopping |
| The halting of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily, for the purpose of, and while actually engaged in, receiving or discharging passengers, as may be permitted by law under this chapter | Stand or Standing |
| The standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading merchandise or passengers as may be permitted by law under this chapter | Park or Parking |
| Anyone who parks in a designated handicapped space must have the | Proper permit |
| When responding to an alarm some may require a faster response such as | Financial institution, pharmacy, medical facility or veterinary office |
| When responding to an alarm, officers should park their patrol vehicle an | Appropriate distance from the building |
| When responding to an alarm, in a residential neighborhood, officers may park their vehicle | A few houses down and walk the rest of the way |
