  1. Under the CPD use-of-force continuum, which factor is MOST important when determining the appropriate level of force?

    Answer: The totality of circumstances as perceived by a reasonable officer

    The 'reasonable officer' standard under Graham v. Connor requires evaluating the totality of circumstances, not any single factor in isolation.

  2. A CPD officer stops a vehicle for a broken taillight. During the stop, the officer smells cannabis. Under Illinois law, what must the officer establish before searching the vehicle's trunk?

    Answer: Consent from the driver or probable cause

    Consent or probable cause is required to search an area of a vehicle beyond plain view, even following a valid traffic stop.

  3. Which CPD General Order governs the department's policy on electronic control weapons (ECWs/Tasers)?

    Answer: G02-01-09

    CPD General Order G02-01-09 specifically addresses the use of electronic control weapons and associated documentation requirements.

  4. Under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, when police respond to a domestic disturbance and probable cause exists that a crime occurred, the officer:

    Answer: Shall arrest the dominant physical aggressor

    Illinois law mandates officers arrest the dominant physical aggressor when probable cause exists in domestic violence situations.

  5. A suspect invokes their right to counsel during a custodial interrogation. What must the CPD officer do?

    Answer: Cease all questioning immediately until an attorney is present

    Under Edwards v. Arizona, once a suspect unambiguously invokes the right to counsel, all interrogation must cease until counsel is present.

  6. What is the primary purpose of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS)?

    Answer: To build partnerships between police and community to solve recurring problems

    CAPS is Chicago's community policing model focused on police-community partnerships and problem-solving to address underlying causes of crime.

  7. Under CPD policy, when must an officer complete a Tactical Response Report (TRR)?

    Answer: Any time force beyond control holds is used or a weapon is deployed

    A TRR is required whenever force beyond control holds is used or a weapon other than a firearm is deployed, ensuring documentation of all significant force incidents.
