MGVRP Official Traffic Stop Guide (LEO)

Purpose:

To ensure traffic stops are conducted safely, professionally, and with proper radio communication and roleplay standards.

1. Initiating the Stop – Radio Call

Immediately call out your stop before making contact.

Format:

[R-WI] [Unit Number], 10-11 traffic stop near [Landmark/Road Name]. Vehicle: [Color] [Make] [Model], Plate: [Plate], State: [State]. Occupants: [Unknown/# if visible].

Example:

[R-WI] 104, 10-11 traffic stop near 6 Estates. Vehicle is a black Ford Explorer, plate WIS 432JUI, state Wisconsin. Occupants unknown.

2. Activating Lights & Making Contact

• Activate emergency lights and direct the driver to a safe location:

  “PA: DRIVER, MOVE TO THE NEAREST CUT-OFF AREA!”

• Position your patrol vehicle safely (offset slightly for officer protection).

• Approach with caution – always keep eyes on the driver’s hands.

• Identify yourself and state the reason for the stop.

Example Dialogue:

“Good evening, I’m [Rank] [Last Name] with the Wisconsin State Patrol. The reason for the stop today is [e.g., speeding]. May I see your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance, please?”

3. Running Information

After receiving the documents:

• Return to your patrol vehicle.

• RP a record check (/do would show the result).

• If all documents are valid, proceed accordingly.

If the vehicle is unregistered:

Radio for backup:

[R-WI] [Unit Number], be advised, plate comes back unregistered. Requesting 10-78 to my 10-20.

Example:

[R-OT] 226, be advised, the plate WIS 432JUI comes back unregistered. Requesting additional 10-78 to my location.
(10-78 = Requesting backup)

4. Handling an Unregistered Vehicle

Once backup arrives:

• Re-approach the vehicle together and inform the driver of the issue.

• Ask if they are aware the vehicle is unregistered.

• Depending on MGVRP policy/server activity, take appropriate action:

  • Issue a citation

  • Request a tow (10-51)

  • Detain the driver if suspicious (e.g., fake plates)

Tow Request Example:

[R-WI] 104, requesting 10-51 to my 10-20 near 6 Estates for an unregistered vehicle.

Officer Dialogue Example:

“Sir/Ma’am, your vehicle is showing as unregistered. I’ll need you to step out while we resolve this matter.”

⚠️ Always roleplay searching, securing, and towing the vehicle properly using /me and /do.

5. Final Radio Call

Once the stop is complete, call it in:

[R-WI] [Unit Number], 10-24, traffic stop concluded. Citation issued/tow requested.

Example:

[R-WI] 104, 10-24, traffic stop concluded, citation issued for unregistered vehicle.
