Possible departmental procedure:
When an officer observes unusual conduct that leads him or her reasonably to
conclude, in the light of his or her experience, that criminal activity is about to
take place or has just taken place, and that the person with whom he or she is
dealing may be armed and presently dangerous, the officer may stop the
person.
The officer must identify himself or herself as a police officer.
The officer can then make reasonable inquiries by asking questions of the
person stopped.
Based on the responses to the questions and the officer's presence, does the
officer continue to believe the person may be armed and presently dangerous
to the officer or to others, the officer may conduct a pat-down for weapons
only, by touching the outer clothing of the person.
