CUHS Traffic Stop Awareness

Cherokee County Sheriff’s Corporal Justin Noel, who serves as a Columbus School District Resource Officer, recently provided a traffic stop awareness program to CUHS students. Topics covered included how to safely pull over, keeping hands visible, remaining in the vehicle, and safely pulling back onto the roadway. Through the program, which included a simulated traffic stop, students were able to view the situation from a law enforcement officer's perspective. The training is designed to help keep young drivers calm and safe, should they be involved in a traffic stop.
