What are two types of traffic stops?

• A. Routine stops and Stop-and-go stops
• B. Unknown risk stops
• C. High-risk stops
• D. Stop-and-frisk stops

Answer: (B)

Stops are handled based on risk level. The two main categories instructors emphasize are unknown risk stops and high-risk stops. An unknown risk stop is one where you don’t have clear information indicating danger before you approach, so you use standard safety procedures, clear communication, and controlled tactics to minimize risk. A high-risk stop is used when there is information suggesting a greater threat, requiring extra precautions, coordination, and protective measures. Among the options, unknown risk stops is the best answer because it identifies a recognized type of traffic stop. The other choices describe nonstandard labels or procedures (routine or stop-and-go aren’t formal stop types, stop-and-frisk is a search tactic, and high-risk stops is a valid type but the item listed as the primary answer here is the unknown risk category).
