ACSO: how to be safer when being pulled over

Following up on the KSP story about a man impersonating an officer, pulling a woman over and attacking her, the following tips are being offered to help in this type situation...

By Sheriff Josh Brockman, Adair County Sheriff’s Office


If you are in a rural area and not in a public place and you don’t feel comfortable, or something doesn’t seem right. Reduce your speed as to let officer know you are not fleeing. Call 911 give them your location and tell them you are being stopped and want to make sure it’s an officer.

Lock your door when you stop and only roll your window down partially until officer makes contact with you. This will enables you to see that it is a uniformed officer before you roll the window all the way down.

Leave your vehicle running unless you have been instructed to shut it off by officer.

Be aware of anything that looks out of place.

Carry pepper spray or exercise your right to be armed. Whichever you choose, be familiar with safe operation of it and the responsibility that comes along with it.

I would also like to add all of Adair County Sheriff’s patrol cruisers are marked and clearly identified. We have no cars that are assigned to deputies that are unmarked.
