- Reports must be filed by officers for accidents resulting in injury, death, or property damage of $500 or more.
Traffic Accident Measurement
- Triangulation is the preferred method of measuring a traffic accident scene.
- This technique determines a point's location using angles from two known points, creating a triangle.
Fingerprint Patterns
- There are three primary fingerprint patterns: Arches, Loops, and Whorls.
Juvenile Rights
- Juvenile Officers are responsible for advising juveniles of their rights.
Transporting Juveniles
- Only officers can transport juveniles to detention or medical facilities.
Non-Applicable Sections in Reports
- Use "NA" for non-applicable questions in STARS reports.
- If unknown, write "Unknown." Every field must be populated.
Date and Time Format in Reports
- Dates in STARS reports should be formatted as MM-DD-YYYY (e.g., 01-03-2000).
- Record time using military format (24-hour clock).
Situational Awareness during Traffic Stops
- Remain vigilant regarding all individuals involved during a traffic stop (driver, passengers, surroundings).
Pistol Firing Stances
