Business & Community Luncheon

Most people think they already know what to do when stopped by the police but getting pulled over can be a stressful experience. Knowing how to handle the situation properly can help ensure the safety of both you and the officer. Join us as Lieutenant Jeff Crites from the Farmington Police Department presents, "The Smart Guide to Police Pullovers," offers valuable insights and practical advice on what to do—and what not to do—during a traffic stop.

You'll learn:

The proper steps to take as soon as you realize you're being pulled over.
How to communicate effectively and respectfully with the police officer.
The importance of staying calm and compliant, and how to avoid actions that might escalate the situation.
Key legal rights you should be aware of during a traffic stop.
Tips for ensuring your personal safety and the safety of the officer.

By understanding these essential guidelines, you can navigate traffic stops with confidence and minimize potential risks. Join us to empower yourself with the knowledge needed to handle police encounters safely and respectfully.

A delicious lunch is available for $10 per person. Out of respect for our caterer, reservations are REQUIRED by the Tuesday prior to the luncheon. Payment will be accepted at the door. Cancellations must be received by the Tuesday prior to the luncheon in order to receive a refund otherwise; payment will be expected.

Mark your calendar now and plan to join us on the 3rd Thursday of every month to learn more about our region and business issues, and network with fellow Farmington Chamber members.
