If the Stop Stick is "hit," which form must be completed and faxed?

• A. Stop Stick Log
• B. Stop Stick Usage Form
• C. Stop Stick Pursuit Form
• D. Stop Stick Report

Answer: (C)

When a Stop Stick is hit, it’s treated as part of a vehicle pursuit and must be documented with the Stop Stick Pursuit Form. This form is specifically designed to capture pursuit-related details—where and when the device was struck, which units were involved, suspect vehicle description, how many tires were affected, the outcome (whether the pursuit could safely continue or ended), and supervisor notification. Faxing this form ensures timely, official recording in the incident file and enables proper review for safety and policy compliance.

The other forms aren’t the formal record used for a Stop Stick incident in a pursuit context: a Stop Stick Log is typically a running log of deployments, not the official incident report; a Stop Stick Usage Form records deployment actions but not the complete pursuit-specific details required for formal documentation; a Stop Stick Report is a general report but does not substitute for the pursuit-focused documentation mandated by policy.
