Sudden vehicle stop attacks

New! Force Science seeks answers to sudden vehicle stop attacks

Field research on a groundbreaking new study on vehicle stop safety has been completed by the Force Science Institute, with specific pointers on how officers can better protect themselves from sudden shooting attacks expected by the end of summer.

Using 94 officers from 17 agencies, the research team conducted a series of test scenarios across a 5-day period earlier this month, seeking to determine:

 • exactly how officers spontaneously react when confronted with an unexpected threat to life

 • how their impulsive responses compare to their training and to their personal performance expectations

 • how memory is affected after a sudden high-stress confrontation and how it might be better investigated

 • what might best discourage an assault and what is likely to be the most efficient and safest response if a potentially deadly attack does occur.
