REMOVAL OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS (PASSENGER(S)

The procedures for removal of other individuals are basically a repeat of those required to remove the driver. There are, however, several differences:

The passenger will maintain his position until ordered by the senior MA to move. He will be ordered to move into the driver's seat, keeping his hands on the windshield. He will be then ordered to extend both hands out the driver side window. Using his right hand he will reach over and open the door from the outside. He will then be ordered to push the door open and slowly exit the vehicle. Once outside the vehicle he will step away from the door and using his right foot kick the door closed. Again this will prevent anyone from attempting to get out of the vehicle or the passenger attempting to get back in.

The passenger will be ordered to continue to face toward the front direction of the suspect vehicle, facing the forward observer. For male or female suspects, if they are wearing loose clothing, instruct them to use one hand (left one, since the majority of people are right handed) to lift the clothing up and away from the waist. If a weapon is discovered, the MA issuing instructions should warn all other persons present and keep the suspect covered. Order the suspect to very slowly reach behind and with his or her left hand, using thumb and forefinger, remove the weapon from his or her waistband. The suspect will then be ordered to slowly bend over and place the weapon on the roadway. The suspect will then be ordered to stand up, keeping his or her hands above the head. At this point, the suspect may be ordered to kick the weapon away, or leave it where he or she placed it, or to step back away from the weapon. The suspect will then be ordered to slowly turn

360 degrees, so the MA can check for any other weapons, and return to a position facing forward again.

The suspect will then be instructed to start walking backwards towards the voice of the senior MA and to continue walking backwards until he or she reaches the point of the two opened doors, where he or she will stop. The suspect will then be ordered to turn around, facing to the rear of the patrol vehicles. The MA in the first patrol vehicle will focus on the suspect, while the other MA continues to observe the suspect vehicle. The suspect will then be ordered to walk to a position even with the rear tires on the patrol vehicles.

The suspect will then be ordered to a prone position on the roadway, legs spread, and arms apart. After he/she is in that position, the MA will handcuff and search the suspect. The suspect will then be placed and secured into the patrol unit. With two units you can keep the suspects separated, especially when opposite sexes are involved. This will also prevent them from communicating and pre-planning their stories.
