1. Encounters Leading to Detentions
January 2019

2. Encounters Definition
Consensual Encounters: A consensual encounter with a law enforcement officer is not considered a stop or search and therefore, is not entitled to Fourth Amendment protection.
A consensual encounter generally arises when an officer approaches a citizen to inquire about an incident that concerns public safety or the citizen’s safety.

3. Encounters Definition
Reasonable Suspicion : Reasonable suspicion is the legal standard by which a police officer has the right to briefly detain a suspect for investigatory purposes. The detention requires a well-founded suspicion of criminal activity. [Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 30 (1968)]
A pat-down of the outside of their clothing for weapons can occur, but not for drugs.
Must clearly articulate why the officer believes the individual is currently armed and/or dangerous.

4. Encounters Definition
Probable Cause: “Probable cause exists where the facts and circumstances within the officers' knowledge and of which they have reasonably trustworthy information are sufficient in themselves to warrant a man of reasonable caution in the belief that an offense has been or is being committed." (Brinegar v. U.S.)

5. Standardization Tracking all detentions regardless of outcome
Standardize encounter definition as any contacts that led to a detention, arrest or detention and release
Triangulation of data points: Reports, CAD, and Body-Cam.
