  1. Complete the analogy: Patrol officer is to patrol car as detective is to ___.

    Answer: Unmarked vehicle

    Just as a patrol officer uses a marked patrol car as their primary vehicle, a detective uses an unmarked vehicle as their primary transportation.

  2. A suspect description states: male, 6 feet tall, brown hair, wearing a red hoodie and jeans. Which individual can be immediately eliminated as a suspect?

    Answer: A 5'8" male with brown hair in jeans and a red hoodie

    The 5'8" male does not match the stated height of 6 feet, making him inconsistent with the description on a measurable, objective criterion.

  3. If statements A and B are both true: (A) No officer working the night shift attends briefings before noon. (B) Officer Torres attends briefings before noon. What can be concluded?

    Answer: Officer Torres does not work the night shift

    Since no night-shift officer attends briefings before noon, and Torres does attend, Torres cannot work the night shift.

  4. A series of vehicle thefts follows this pattern: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ___. What day follows the pattern?

    Answer: Sunday

    The pattern skips one day between each theft (Mon, skip Tue, Wed, skip Thu, Fri, skip Sat), so the next theft would occur on Sunday.

  5. An officer must relay this information in order of importance for an incident report: location, nature of crime, suspect description, time of occurrence, officer badge number. Which piece of information is LEAST critical for immediate dispatch response?

    Answer: Officer badge number

    Officer badge number is an administrative identifier that does not affect the operational response to an incident in progress.

  6. Three officers are ranked: Sergeant outranks Corporal; Corporal outranks Officer. A new rank, Inspector, is added between Sergeant and Corporal. Which ranking is now correct from highest to lowest?

    Answer: Sergeant, Inspector, Corporal, Officer

    Inspector is placed between Sergeant and Corporal, so the order from highest to lowest is Sergeant, Inspector, Corporal, Officer.

  7. A witness says the incident happened 'about two hours before sunset.' Sunset is at 8:00 PM. Police arrive at 7:30 PM. Was the incident still in progress when police arrived?

    Answer: No, the incident was over before police arrived

    Two hours before sunset (8:00 PM) places the incident at approximately 6:00 PM, and police arrived at 7:30 PM — approximately 90 minutes after the incident began or occurred.
