Officers should try to follow the traffic signals	Preset patterns
When encountering a traffic situation an officer should activate the emergency lights safely park the patrol vehicle	On the shoulder or another location that does not obstruct traffic
Is usually the safest place to stand when directing traffic because the officer is most visible to motorists	Center of intersection
When directing traffic from somewhere other than an intersection officers must find the safest possible area by avoiding standing	Between two vehicles, directly in front of or behind a vehicle
To get a driver's attention officers should do the following	Make eye contact, use a whistle, and use clear, crisp hand movements
An officer's job when directing traffic is to	Maintain safety for drivers and pedestrians
This Florida Statue states that the driver must bring their car to a complete stop before arriving at an intersection to avoid injuring a pedestrian carrying a cane	316.1301
It is unlawful for any person not partially or totally blind or otherwise incapacitated to carry a white cane in a raised or extended way an is guilty of a	Misdemeanor of the second degree
Directing traffic at night is difficult to make eye contact with drivers because of	Limited visibility

Officers should alsways enter the room by using what type of pattern	Crisscross or buttonhook technique
Officers stand on opposite sides of the doorways and rapidly enter one after another, crossing in front of each other in an X pattern	Crisscross
Officers stand on opposite sides on the same side by hooking around the corner at the point of entry	Buttonhook
Once inside a room officers should search a room using	The leapfrog pattern
The most obvious sources of vehicle and owner information are the	License tag and vehicle identification number (VIN)
(DHSMV) stands for	Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
