What kind of issues could qualify as a "Civil Standby" situation?

A "Civil Standby" situation typically arises in scenarios where individuals involved in a dispute may require the presence of law enforcement to ensure safety and maintain peace while they resolve their differences. Property disputes are a classic example of this, as they often involve heightened emotions and potential for conflict. When police are present, it can help prevent escalation, ensure that individuals feel safe, and provide a neutral party to facilitate the interaction.

In contrast, minor accidents without injuries, fraud investigations, and routine traffic stops do not typically necessitate an officer's presence as a standby. Minor accidents can often be documented without police intervention, fraud investigations are generally more complex and handled through investigative protocols rather than immediate physical presence, and routine traffic stops are part of normal police operations rather than situations that require a civil standby role.
