Which stationary roadblock is best suited for tire deflation devices?

• A. Stationary
• B. Coercive
• C. Moving
• D. Protective

Answer: (B)

The concept here is that tire deflation devices are used to force a vehicle to stop by introducing a controlled, coercive element into a pursuit. A stationary roadblock focused on coercion is the best fit because it creates a fixed, predictable setup where responders can purposefully place devices at a chosen point to compel surrender while managing safety. This approach emphasizes stopping the suspect, not merely protecting bystanders or creating dynamic pursuit barriers.

A protective roadblock prioritizes safety for people and property but isn’t aimed at forcing a vehicle to stop. A moving roadblock changes position during a pursuit, which can increase risk and complicate device deployment. A stationary setup without a coercive objective wouldn’t effectively compel the stop.
