Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Question for LEO
What causes a situation to need more than 1 LEO on scene? I have been pulled over before and had 2 cars on scene, I have seen what looks like traffic stops have 2+ cars at times.
I would assume training newer LEO, certain crimes obviously require backup.. what else?
They got your name from your tags, then ran your name, that's why they called in a second officer................Originally Posted by aahorn

It varies alot but as a general rule if you are stopped by one officer and another shows up after he takes you DL (we used to call it an adam car) you may have a warrant, and/or he thinks something is suspicious.

Proximity, department policy, Kismet...
Could be any number of reasons. Most calls blend together throughout a shift, but every call is different. It can be mind numbing at times and when available, an extra set of eyes can be very welcome.
Someone got in trouble today!!!
That's all I have to add.
They're trying to decide where to go code 7 after they clear the stop.

Or it could be boredom as well. I would usually stop if one of my coworkers was on a traffic stop and when I was a supervisor, I would stop to check on my peeps. Occasionally, it would be to wait until they were finished with what they were doing and then go for coffee.

In highlands ranch, if it's a nice car, they only have one cop. If it's a teenager/construction truck/ or POS they have 3to 5 cop cars. I think it's a waste of money.
Are you thinking there should be fewer officers working on any given shift?
Once the shift starts, you have X cars in service. If emergency runs come in, and someone is backing up a routine traffic stop, the back up car clears and takes the emergency run. Either way, whether the officers stop one, two, or twenty cars, they are all getting paid to take calls as they come in unless they are assigned to some other duty besides traffic. It's not like officers rove around in three car packs from call to call.
