I may have missed it… is there an official definition for “contact”?

More situations to consider…

You drive upon an automobile accident where an officer just arrived. He walks up to your vehicle and motions you to stop and roll down your window so he can give you whatever direction he/she feels necessary, such as “Please wait for me to tell you when it’s o.k. to make a U turn so you can take an alternate route. Traffic will be tied up here for a while.” Is this "contact"? Is the subsequent follow-up direction given by the officer consider "contact"? After all, you were told in advance you will be receiving further instruction.

You’re standing on a parade route. An officer walks up and asks only you to move your chair back a couple of feet. A communication intended only for you. Is this "contact"?
