Tips for people who are stopped:

 

  • Shut off your vehicle engine and leave the vehicle in park.

 

  • Keep all windows rolled up at least half-way.

 

  • Stay in your vehicle unless an officer directs you to do otherwise.

 

  • Do not try to communicate with or pet the dog.

 

  • An air scent around your vehicle does not constitute a search of your vehicle.

 

  • A positive indication by the K-9 gives officers the right to search a vehicle without a warrant.
