  1. An officer issues 6 parking citations per hour on average. How many citations will the officer issue during a 7.5-hour shift?

    Answer: 45

    6 citations/hour × 7.5 hours = 45 citations.

  2. A precinct's monthly overtime budget is $18,000. If 12 officers each work the same amount of overtime, how much overtime pay is allocated per officer?

    Answer: $1,500

    $18,000 ÷ 12 officers = $1,500 per officer.

  3. A foot chase covers 3/4 of a mile. If Officer Torres has already run 1/2 mile, how much farther does he need to run to complete the chase?

    Answer: 1/4 mile

    3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4 mile remaining.

  4. Evidence from three drug seizures weighed 2.4 lbs, 3.8 lbs, and 1.6 lbs. What is the average weight per seizure?

    Answer: 2.6 lbs

    (2.4 + 3.8 + 1.6) ÷ 3 = 7.8 ÷ 3 = 2.6 lbs.

  5. A police report shows 144 incidents were reported over 12 months. What was the average number of incidents reported per month?

    Answer: 12

    144 incidents ÷ 12 months = 12 incidents per month.

  6. Cash recovered at a scene included: four $50 bills, seven $20 bills, and three $10 bills. What is the total amount recovered?

    Answer: $370

    (4 × $50) + (7 × $20) + (3 × $10) = $200 + $140 + $30 = $370.
