Purpose of Highway Patrol
Highway Patrol is a subdivision for enforcing the law primarily on the highways. Though we are able to patrol within common areas in AOPs such as Ballarat or Melbourne, it is recommended you stay within the highway areas while activated to provide the best experience as a Traffic Enforcement unit. The primary reason we activate is to reduce vehicle crimes such as speeding, reckless driving, and DUI’s. Though these crimes are accessible to us, we will most likely be involved with pursuits due to our custom vehicles that allow us to go 300+ Kph safely and are generally faster than standard issued vehicles from GD and CIRT

Practical Movements
While you are activated as Highway Patrol, it is important to know basic maneuvers and techniques while driving. Due to you being held on a higher standard of driving, these will be extremely important. In this training course I am about to show you are going to improve your driving ability as well as give me knowledge about your ability to handle a vehicle.
Pursuit Formation
This formation is to prevent being brake checked and crashing into the vehicle in front of you. This formation will only be used on three (3) lanes plus roads. [Reference Senora FWY] This tactic should not be used on two (2) lane roads such as East Joshua Road.
Pit Maneuvers
Watch how a PIT should be performed�> how to PIT
The purpose of the ‘PIT’ maneuver is to disable the vehicle being pursued with the best possible outcome. ‘PIT’ also known as Pursuit Intervention Technique is one of the most common ways to get a fleeing vehicle to a halt. The ‘PIT’ maneuver should be performed in the following conditions.
Make sure to Request for a Pit Maneuver and have a LSC and Above approve of the PIT. If the pursuit is imperative, make sure you follow the above conditions.
Stop Stick Deployment
Stop Sticks (Also Known as spikes) are a tactic device used by Victoria Police with the intention of safely slowing a vehicle by deflating the tyres. If performed correctly, this is a highly effective and useful tactic which is safer than other tactics available to us.
When deploying Stop Sticks, you must adhere to the following checklist;
Vehicle Boxing
Boxing in vehicles should be one of the last resorts used during a pursuit. Ensure you have exhausted all other tactics before resulting to boxing in a vehicle.
To box a vehicle successfully, you will require 3 or more vehicles (pref. Gold Class) to surround the vehicle, bringing it to a safe stop.
Follow the below steps to successfully guide a moving vehicle to a stop
