You watch the person in their car for a good 30 seconds to a minute before you blue light them, to watch for scrambling or sudden movements, or other sketchy behavior so you know whether to radio for backup. Calling for backup on very little suspicion is very common and perfectly acceptable, your fellow officers will gladly respond when you are the least bit nervous because they will want to be able to count on you to do the same. Cops know that there is strength in numbers because even the most derranged criminals know that if they even hint at shooting a cop, they will get it right back. The hope is that fear of retaliation will deter such motives. After that, you approach the car with caution on the right side as to remain in the blindspot as long as possible, flashlight in left hand by your head if not broad daylight, right hand on pistol regardless. Learning to survey a situation quickly and accurately is a useful tool. If there is any suspicion, they step out of the car and are cuffed for their and my protection. Not under arrest, just lawfully detained. Your best bet if you are the civilian is to put your hands where I can see them and keep them there.

The police do not charge you, the prosecuting lawyer does. The police might forward the checklist to the prosecutor, who comments it, and comes to a decision if a criminal criticism could be filed. If the criticism is filed, it ought to be registered with the court docket, and then served on the guy. reckoning on the prosecutors case load, and the severity of the crime, this would take everywhere from a pair of days to a pair of months. The time decrease is desperate by potential of your state regulations on statute of barriers. You did not say the place you have been from, my state has 3 years for a misdemeanor, 7 years for a criminal, and no limits on intentional homicide.

Not myself, former classmate, his partner and K9 were killed in the line of duty though from an incident that began as a traffic stop in St. Paul, MN some years ago.
Pay attention to your training, stay aware of what's going on around and stay alert.

I have never been shot, or shot at, yet, you would learn all the different techniques at the police academy.

Medically retired cop here and I have been shot and shot at. Aside from using good tactics (they teach it in the Academy and when you are on training) you should develop a "feel" for when something isn't right. Using your head, trusting your instincts and being smart is the best way to avoid it, but there are no guarantees. The best cops can be shot even when they do the right thing every time.
Basically, if someone REALLY wants to kill you, there is not a lot you can do (aside from what I listed) to avoid it. You will definitely increase your chances of survival/not being shot by using those tactics you will learn, listening to your head and being smart.

I have been shot AT while making a traffic stop - but not hit.
I'm not sure what "technique" you're referring to - making the traffic stop or shooting the officer pulling you over.
If you're talking about making the traffic stop, you're trained to watch everything as you approach the other car - if there are multiple passengers or you have other suspicions, then call for backup before contacting the other driver.
Your first concern is your own safety.

Former Air Force cop. No, I haven't been shot. What do you mean a technique to it (to getting shot or a traffic stop??) If you mean traffic stop, there's probably as many variations as there are stars in the sky. I was taught to pull the car behind the vehicle and pointed slightly to the left. This way it protects you if someone isn't paying attention and gets too close...they'll hit your car and be forced back to the left vs hitting you. You'll be taught very well at your academy.
