Let's just start with a traffic stop, for example. Police officers have no idea who's in that car, whether it's the driver or any of the passengers. That's where your risk is heightened. One of the most dangerous things a police officer can do is a traffic stop, whether it be in broad daylight at Portage la Prairie on Highway 1 or in the middle of the night in Surrey, B.C., or New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
You need to have accurate information and have resources available to you. It might be as simple as backup, the ability to have another police officer available to you within a reasonable time frame to support you should something go south.
