Officers com pleting this course will be certified to INSTRUCT officers in the STOPS of ficer survival program. \; Upon completion of the STOPS program\, your officers will be able to execute vehicle stops SAFELY\, pedestrian contac ts\, commercial vehicle stops\, vehicle extractions\, drug interdiction st ops\, and high-risk (felony) stops. \; Officers will be trained in ris k assessments and proven methods to counter felonious and accidental assau lts. \; Vehicle stops will be broken into 12 ambush zones for the offi cer to be aware of and escape techniques to counter assaults.\nThe STOPS p rogram is based on research from officers injured or killed in the line of duty. \; We then developed strategies and tactics that countered the assaults\, significantly increasing the officer’s survival probability.&nb sp\; The STOPS program is nationally and internationally recognized as the leading program in tactical/officer survival training available.\nVehicle stops will be divided into low-risk\, unknown-risk\, and high-risk. \ ; Each category has pre-planned options to minimize the chances of being a ssaulted by both accidental and felonious means.  \;The officer’s goal during the course is to always think about the safest way to deal with ev ery situation while recognizing danger cues.  \;STOPS students will do minate through superior training and a warrior mindset when an assault is attempted.\nSTOPS training is realistic with both classroom and dynamic fi eld exercises. \; These classes will also include our bonus force-on-f orce training. \; Upon obtaining instructor-level certification\, inst ructors will be certified to teach the “STOPS Tactical” Officers Survival System for 36 months.\n\nWhat will the student learn?\n\nIntroduction to S trategies &\;
