What is the purpose of conducting traffic stops?
* To stop an ongoing violation * To deter other drivers from violating the law * To reduce or prevent accidents * To change the offender’s future driving behavior * To detect evidence of other (undiscovered) crimes * To reduce drug and weapon trafficking * To identify the people driving through our neighborhoods * To eliminate the continued freedom of fugitives * To reduce the public’s fear of “road rage” * Traffic is still the public’s #1 complaint.
