When approaching a stopped vehicle at night, a trooper should:

Use a flashlight and shine it into the vehicle's interior to illuminate occupants

Answer

Using a flashlight to illuminate the vehicle's interior helps the trooper identify threats, see occupants' hands, and maintain situational awareness in low-light conditions.

Question 4

A trooper is the first responder to an active shooter scene at a school. According to current law enforcement protocols, the trooper should:
