Stop Stick® Online Training - Manual Deployment: Module 2 – Safety Considerations

Welcome to Module 2 of the official Stop Stick® Online Training Portal. In this second training segment of our digital certification course, we transition into tactical operations, focusing exclusively on the critical safety considerations, environment management, and risk assessments required before and during the physical deployment of the Stop Stick® Tire Deflation Device. No two pursuit environments are identical. This chapter equips officers with a foundational checklist to successfully execute vehicle pursuit intervention strategy while maintaining situational awareness, utilizing physical cover, and establishing communication frameworks with pursuing patrol units. 🔒 Enroll in the Training Portal: Log into your dashboard, track your module completions, and earn your training certification at: https://training.stopstick.com/ 📘 What Module 2 Covers: Pre-Planning and Site Selection: The vital importance of pre-mapping your patrol area to isolate the most suitable and safest deployment locations. Substantial Cover Criteria: Pinpointing what constitutes adequate structural protection (such as large trees or robust barriers) and why your patrol vehicle is NOT adequate cover. Environmental Disqualifiers: A strict review of conditions where deployment should be avoided, including pedestrian presence, unsafe proximity, and a mandatory prohibition on motorcycles or vehicles with fewer than four wheels. Extreme Caution Factors: Assessing the heightened hazards surrounding excessive vehicle speeds or fleeing suspects driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Visual Observation & Radio Syncing: Protocol for maintaining a clear line of sight on target vehicles and establishing continuous updates with approaching pursuit vehicles. Escape Routes & Extraction: Developing a secondary tactical exit plan and coordinating safe spacing for pursuing units to allow clean device retrieval. 🚔 Submit a Pursuit Deployment Report: Has your department recently deployed a Stop Stick® unit to safely end a pursuit?
