NPOST Police MCQ Question and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Major websites have created a sophisticated tool known as a "supercookie" that can recreate user profiles even after people erase the ordinary cookies and that is impossible for computer users to recognize as a new, legal method of tracking users' online behavior. While several businesses have come under fire for selling customer information online, other websites that employ supercookies claimed that the tracking was unintentional and that they would stop using it. Following notification that they had been employing supercookies, some websites declared on Wednesday that they would look into the tactic right away.

Question 5: A narcotics dealer who was in possession of heroin valued at $675,00 when your squad arrested him was arrested. How many kilograms of heroin did the dealer have if heroin is worth $150,000 a kilogram?
Correct answer: 5
To determine the quantity of heroin, divide the total value by the price per kilogram. The calculation is $675,000 / $150,000, which equals 4.5 kilograms. Since 4.5 kg is not an available option, and standard rounding rules typically round 0.5 up, 5 kg is the most appropriate answer among the given choices.
Question 6: A suspect in a burglary case has been taken into custody. The bail amount was established by the judge at $500,000. What amount does the suspect have to pay for the bail bond if the bail bondsman needs a 10% deposit to issue a bail bond?
- $50
- $50,000 (Correct answer)
- $5,000
- $500
Correct answer: $50,000
A bail bondsman typically charges a non-refundable fee, usually a percentage of the total bail amount, to issue a bail bond. To calculate the required deposit, multiply the total bail amount by the percentage fee. In this case, $500,000 multiplied by 10% (or 0.10) equals $50,000.
Question 7: You are required to arrive as swiftly as you can at the crime scene. Distance from the crime scene: 10.5 miles. You'll be able to go at a speed of 45 miles per hour on average. How long will it take you to arrive at the scene, roughly?
- 10 minutes
- 5 minutes
- 14 minutes (Correct answer)
- 5 minutes
Correct answer: 14 minutes
To calculate the time required, use the formula Time = Distance / Speed. First, divide 10.5 miles by 45 miles per hour, which yields approximately 0.2333 hours. To convert this to minutes, multiply by 60 minutes per hour, resulting in approximately 14 minutes.
