This 8 hour (1 day) seminar will discuss safe and efficient traffic stops to include right side approaches. In addition, officer safety issues will be discussed with emphasis on contact and cover principles. Finally, Ohio's new CCW law will be discussed to include issues related to firearms in motor vehicles during traffic stops. Officer safety is everbody's business; it is a survival "attitude" that must be developed, practiced and rehearsed.

Topics to be discussed: Safe and efficient traffic stops; left side versus right side approaches; officer safety issues; contact and cover principles; the deadly errors; unknown risk contacts; CCW law; and policy and procedure samples.
