What Is SWAP AND STOP?

SWAP AND STOP is an interactive public safety program where community members experience realistic traffic stop scenarios with real police officers and police vehicles.

The program helps participants understand:

  • how traffic stops work

  • why officers make certain decisions

  • how communication affects encounters

  • how civilians and police can interact more safely

The goal is simple:
Create safer and more respectful interactions between law enforcement and the community.

Real Conversations. Real Traffic Stops. Real Understanding.

An interactive community experience created by The New Haven Guardians to improve safety, communication, and understanding between police officers and the community during motor vehicle stops.
