CJBAT Number Facility — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A booking officer processes 14 detainees in the first shift and 9 in the second shift. During the third shift, 6 are released. How many detainees are currently in holding?
- 17 (Correct answer)
- 23
- 29
- 11
Correct answer: 17
14 + 9 = 23 total booked. 23 − 6 = 17 currently in holding. This requires straightforward sequential arithmetic with no extraneous information.
Question 2: An officer drives a patrol route of 8 miles each way, twice per shift. If the officer works 5 shifts this week, how many total miles are driven on the patrol route?
- 160 (Correct answer)
- 80
- 40
- 120
Correct answer: 160
8 miles each way × 2 (round trip) = 16 miles per patrol. 2 patrols per shift × 16 = 32 miles per shift. 32 × 5 shifts = 160 miles total.
Question 3: A correctional facility has 312 inmates distributed equally among 6 cell blocks. How many inmates are in each cell block?
- 52 (Correct answer)
- 48
- 56
- 62
Correct answer: 52
312 ÷ 6 = 52. Equal distribution means simple division with no remainder. A quick check: 52 × 6 = 312 ✓.
Question 4: An officer's daily report must account for all activity hours. If a shift is 8 hours and the officer spent 1 hour 45 minutes on traffic stops, 2 hours 20 minutes on patrol, and 30 minutes on paperwork, how many minutes remain unaccounted for?
- 205 (Correct answer)
- 215
- 195
- 175
Correct answer: 205
Total shift = 8 × 60 = 480 minutes. Time accounted: 105 + 140 + 30 = 275 minutes. Remaining: 480 − 275 = 205 minutes.
Question 5: A department orders 7 cases of evidence bags. Each case contains 144 bags. If 315 bags have already been used, how many bags remain?
- 693 (Correct answer)
- 729
- 653
- 708
Correct answer: 693
7 × 144 = 1,008 total bags. 1,008 − 315 = 693 bags remaining.
Question 6: During a 4-week period, an officer wrote 6 citations per day on weekdays only (Monday–Friday). How many total citations were written during the 4 weeks?
- 120 (Correct answer)
- 168
- 96
- 140
Correct answer: 120
5 weekdays × 4 weeks = 20 working days. 20 × 6 citations = 120 citations total.
