Law Enforcement Aptitude Battery (LEAB) Exam — Questions and Answers

Question 1: An officer receives five radio calls simultaneously. Which factor should determine which call to respond to first?

The proximity of each call to the officer's current location
The order in which the calls were received
The call that has been waiting the longest
The severity of the threat to human life in each call (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The severity of the threat to human life in each call

Law enforcement triage prioritizes threat to human life above all other factors, including call order or geographic proximity.

Question 2: If the alarm was triggered, security was notified. If security was notified, the footage was reviewed. The footage was NOT reviewed. What can be concluded?

The footage was deleted before review
Security was not notified but the alarm was triggered
Security reviewed the footage but filed no report
The alarm was not triggered (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The alarm was not triggered

Applying the contrapositive through each step: no footage review means security was not notified, which means the alarm was not triggered.

Question 3: A report states: "Dispatch received a call at 2247 hours." What does this mean in standard time?

10:47 AM
10:47 PM (Correct answer)
11:47 PM
11:47 AM

Correct answer: 10:47 PM

2247 hours in military time equals 10:47 PM (subtract 1200 from any hour 1300 or later).

Question 4: Which version of the sentence is most concise and clear?

Because it was raining, the officer used his umbrella. (Correct answer)
Due to the fact that it was raining, the officer used his umbrella.
On account of the rain that was occurring, the umbrella was used by the officer.
In light of the rain conditions present, the officer made use of his umbrella.

Correct answer: Because it was raining, the officer used his umbrella.

'Because' is a concise replacement for the wordy phrase 'due to the fact that.'

Question 5: You discover a factual error in an incident report you submitted last week. You:

Quietly correct the digital record without mentioning it to anyone
Wait to see if the error causes any problems before taking action
Hope no one notices and leave the report as submitted
Notify your supervisor immediately and submit a corrected supplemental report (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Notify your supervisor immediately and submit a corrected supplemental report

Proactively correcting errors demonstrates integrity and prevents compounding problems in future proceedings.

Question 6: When assigned to partner with an officer you have previously had a disagreement with, you:

Work independently during the shift to minimize interaction
Request a different partner before the shift begins
Maintain professionalism and focus on the mission (Correct answer)
Address the conflict openly during the shift to clear the air

Correct answer: Maintain professionalism and focus on the mission

Professionalism requires setting aside personal conflicts to ensure effective and safe partnerships.

Question 7: Department policy states that any officer who discharges their firearm, for any reason other than routine training, must complete a 'Use of Force' report within 12 hours of the incident. Officer Jones discharged her firearm during a pursuit at 2:00 PM. Which of the following is a logically necessary conclusion based on deductive reasoning?

The pursuit was justified because a firearm was discharged.
Officer Jones must complete a 'Use of Force' report by 2:00 AM. (Correct answer)
Officer Jones will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
The 'Use of Force' report will find Officer Jones's actions were appropriate.

Correct answer: Officer Jones must complete a 'Use of Force' report by 2:00 AM.

Deductive reasoning starts with a general premise (the policy) and applies it to a specific instance (Officer Jones discharging her firearm) to reach a certain conclusion. The policy is a general rule that applies to all officers. Applying this rule to Officer Jones's specific action leads to the certain conclusion that she must file the report within the specified timeframe.

Question 8: During a domestic call, the victim insists she is 'fine' and wants officers to leave, yet she has fresh bruising on her arms and wrists and avoids eye contact with officers when her partner is present. What must officers recognize?

The victim may be intimidated and unable to speak freely in front of her partner (Correct answer)
Officers must leave because the victim has asked them to depart the premises
The victim's statement should be accepted at face value since she is an adult
The bruising is most likely from a recent accidental injury unrelated to domestic violence

Correct answer: The victim may be intimidated and unable to speak freely in front of her partner

Visible injuries combined with fearful body language while the abuser is present is a classic coerced-denial pattern.

Question 9: An officer is dispatched to a minor vehicle collision in a hospital's emergency room parking lot. The drivers are exchanging information calmly. While taking the report, the officer notices a man pacing near the emergency room entrance, looking agitated and repeatedly glancing at the officers and the drivers. Which of the following best demonstrates problem sensitivity in this situation?

Assuming the man is simply an impatient hospital visitor and ignoring him.
Focusing entirely on the accident report to complete it quickly and clear the scene.
Recognizing that the pacing man's behavior is unusual for the context and could indicate a separate, potentially more critical issue requiring attention. (Correct answer)
Telling the man to leave the area to avoid interfering with the accident investigation.

Correct answer: Recognizing that the pacing man's behavior is unusual for the context and could indicate a separate, potentially more critical issue requiring attention.

Problem sensitivity is the ability to recognize that a problem exists or that something is likely to go wrong. While the accident is the initial call, the officer must be sensitive to other cues in the environment. The man's agitation and focus on the officers could signal a new, unrelated problem (e.g., he needs help, is considering violence, or is experiencing a crisis) that is more urgent than the minor accident.

Question 10: Which sequence correctly describes proper chain of custody for physical evidence?

Document, collect, transfer to evidence room, then package
Collect, package, document, then transfer to evidence room
Collect, document, package, then transfer to evidence room (Correct answer)
Package, collect, document, then transfer to evidence room

Correct answer: Collect, document, package, then transfer to evidence room

Evidence must be collected, documented with descriptions and photos, then packaged and transferred to maintain chain of custody.

Question 11: All gang-related homicides in Precinct 7 are assigned to the Gang Unit. A homicide is confirmed gang-related. Which conclusion follows with certainty?

A task force will be created
The case will be solved within 30 days
The case will remain unsolved
The case must be assigned to the Gang Unit (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The case must be assigned to the Gang Unit

The universal rule directly and necessarily applies to any confirmed gang-related homicide.

Question 12: Which word is spelled correctly?

Supercede
Superceed
Supercede
Supersede (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Supersede

'Supersede' is the correct spelling; it means to take the place of or replace something.

Question 13: A specific intersection generates 30% of all pedestrian-vehicle collision reports in the district despite having standard signage and crosswalks. This statistic MOST suggests:

Pedestrians at that intersection are statistically more inattentive
Drivers in that corridor consistently disregard posted traffic controls
The data represents normal statistical clustering around a high-volume roadway
An environmental or engineering design problem specific to that intersection (Correct answer)

Correct answer: An environmental or engineering design problem specific to that intersection

Disproportionate collision concentration at one location with standard controls suggests the infrastructure itself creates unsafe conditions rather than random user error.

Question 14: Which sentence correctly uses 'who' vs. 'whom'?

Whom is responsible for filing the report?
Who did the sergeant assign to the case? (Correct answer)
To who was the memo addressed?
The detective whom solved the case was promoted.

Correct answer: Who did the sergeant assign to the case?

'Who' is correct as the subject of the clause; if you can substitute 'he/she,' use 'who.'

Question 15: Which transitional word best completes the sentence? 'The officer searched the building; ______, no suspects were found.'

therefore (Correct answer)
furthermore
nevertheless
meanwhile

Correct answer: therefore

'Therefore' correctly signals that the result (no suspects found) follows from the prior action (searching the building).

Question 16: An officer's report reads: "At approximately 2145 hours, I observed a male subject, approximately 6'1" and 180 lbs, wearing a red hoodie and dark jeans, exit the rear door of the establishment." What time did the officer observe the subject?

9:45 AM
10:45 PM
9:45 PM (Correct answer)
10:45 AM

Correct answer: 9:45 PM

2145 hours in 24-hour military time equals 9:45 PM (2145 minus 1200 = 945, which is 9:45 PM).

Question 17: Officers find a man sleeping on a park bench with multiple prescription bottles, a hospital bracelet dated yesterday, and no identification. The GREATEST problem indicator is:

His use of a public park bench as a sleeping location post-discharge
The presence of multiple prescription medications
His complete absence of any form of identification
Being unsupervised in a public place the day after hospital discharge with medications (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Being unsupervised in a public place the day after hospital discharge with medications

Recent discharge combined with unmanaged medications and no support network creates significant risk of medical deterioration or medication misuse.

Question 18: What does effective teamwork look like when handling a domestic disturbance call with a partner?

Officers coordinate roles, communicate clearly, and support each other throughout (Correct answer)
Each officer independently determines their own approach on arrival
The senior officer handles everything while the junior officer observes
One officer manages the scene while the other immediately begins paperwork

Correct answer: Officers coordinate roles, communicate clearly, and support each other throughout

Coordinated teamwork reduces risk and ensures consistent, professional handling of volatile situations.

Question 19: Which sentence correctly avoids gender-biased language in a formal report?

Each officer must submit his report by end of shift.
Each officer must submit his or her report by end of shift.
Each officer must submit her report by end of shift.
All officers must submit their reports by end of shift. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: All officers must submit their reports by end of shift.

Rewriting the sentence in the plural ('all officers... their') avoids gender-biased language most cleanly.

Question 20: A juvenile is taken into custody. Which sequence must be followed?

Process like an adult, then notify parents as soon as possible afterward
Notify parents immediately, then process and document the juvenile
Process, document, transport to juvenile facility, then notify parents
Separate from adult offenders, notify parents or guardians, document, then process (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Separate from adult offenders, notify parents or guardians, document, then process

Juveniles must be separated from adult offenders and parents notified promptly before further processing.

Question 21: An officer pulls over a vehicle for a minor traffic violation and recognizes the driver as a close friend. The friend asks the officer to let them go with a warning, implying that their friendship should be a factor. Which of the following actions best demonstrates the officer's integrity?

Telling the friend that they cannot let them go and proceeding with the traffic stop impartially and according to departmental policy. (Correct answer)
Issuing a warning but stating that next time a ticket will be unavoidable.
Pretending not to recognize the friend and proceeding with the traffic stop as if they were a stranger.
Agreeing to let the friend go but telling them they 'owe' the officer a favor.

Correct answer: Telling the friend that they cannot let them go and proceeding with the traffic stop impartially and according to departmental policy.

This choice demonstrates the core law enforcement values of impartiality, fairness, and adherence to policy. It shows the officer can separate personal relationships from professional duties, which is a critical aspect of integrity and maintaining public trust. The other options show favoritism or create a conflict of interest.

Question 22: A patrol officer has three simultaneous calls: a silent alarm at a bank, a child reported not breathing, and a noise complaint. The correct priority order is:

Noise complaint, bank alarm, child not breathing
Bank alarm, child not breathing, noise complaint
Child not breathing, bank alarm, noise complaint (Correct answer)
Bank alarm, noise complaint, child not breathing

Correct answer: Child not breathing, bank alarm, noise complaint

A child not breathing is a life-threatening medical emergency and takes absolute priority over property crimes or disturbances.

Question 23: In five separate incidents, witnesses described a getaway vehicle as a dark-colored sedan with a dented rear bumper. An officer spots a dark sedan with a dented rear bumper nearby. What does inductive reasoning suggest?

The vehicle should be immediately impounded
The vehicle is definitely the getaway car
The vehicle warrants investigation as a possible match (Correct answer)
The driver should be arrested on the spot

Correct answer: The vehicle warrants investigation as a possible match

Inductive reasoning from repeated observations supports investigation of the match, but does not establish certainty.

Question 24: Residents report a surge in graffiti appearing on walls and fences within a specific three-block area over the past two weeks. What underlying problem should an officer identify?

City maintenance crews have been slow to remove existing graffiti, encouraging more
Emerging gang territorial activity or organized tagging crews may be claiming the area (Correct answer)
The residents are overreacting to what is normal urban expression in the neighborhood
Local youth lack sufficient after-school programs and are expressing themselves creatively

Correct answer: Emerging gang territorial activity or organized tagging crews may be claiming the area

Concentrated graffiti appearing rapidly in a defined area is a recognized early indicator of gang territorial expansion or organized tagging activity.

Question 25: Choose the sentence free of redundancy.

The witness repeated the same statement again.
The victim described the attacker in detail. (Correct answer)
The officer advanced forward toward the suspect.
The report was returned back to the sergeant.

Correct answer: The victim described the attacker in detail.

'Described in detail' contains no redundancy, unlike 'repeated again,' 'returned back,' or 'advanced forward.'

Question 26: All robbery suspects must be interviewed before being released. Jones is a robbery suspect. Which conclusion is MOST logically supported?

Jones must be interviewed before being released (Correct answer)
Jones will be charged with robbery
Jones has a prior criminal record
Jones will be detained overnight

Correct answer: Jones must be interviewed before being released

The universal rule applies to all members of the category, and Jones belongs to that category, so the rule applies directly to him.

Question 27: An officer receives simultaneous radio calls: a domestic violence report with a weapon described, a minor fender-bender with no injuries, a shoplifter detained at a store, and a noise complaint. Which requires response FIRST?

The fender-bender, because it may be blocking traffic and cause additional collisions
The domestic violence call with a weapon, because it presents an immediate threat to life (Correct answer)
The shoplifter, because they are currently in custody and may escape
The noise complaint, because it is affecting the greatest number of nearby residents

Correct answer: The domestic violence call with a weapon, because it presents an immediate threat to life

Calls involving weapons and domestic violence present an imminent threat to life and always take priority over property crimes and nuisance calls.

Question 28: Over two weeks, your precinct receives reports of car break-ins only on Thursday nights between 10 PM and 2 AM within a four-block radius. This pattern MOST suggests:

Random criminal activity in a statistically high-crime area
Vehicles in that area are particularly vulnerable to break-ins
A single offender with a specific routine who knows the area well (Correct answer)
Multiple unrelated opportunistic thieves concentrating in the same zone

Correct answer: A single offender with a specific routine who knows the area well

Tight temporal and geographic clustering points to a single organized offender exploiting a specific window of opportunity they have identified.

Question 29: A memo states: "All personnel are required to complete the updated use-of-force training by the end of the third quarter. Failure to comply may result in administrative action." What is the consequence of not completing the training on time?

Possible administrative action (Correct answer)
Mandatory overtime
Suspension without pay
Immediate termination

Correct answer: Possible administrative action

The memo states that non-compliance 'may result in administrative action,' indicating it is a possible but not guaranteed consequence.

Question 30: Which sentence contains the most precise and objective language suitable for a law enforcement report?

The suspect appeared agitated, clenching his fists and raising his voice. (Correct answer)
The individual, clearly disturbed, made me feel unsafe during this whole situation.
He was in a mood and looked like trouble from the very beginning of our encounter.
The guy seemed really angry and I thought he would do something bad.

Correct answer: The suspect appeared agitated, clenching his fists and raising his voice.

The second option uses objective behavioral observations (clenching fists, raising voice) rather than assumptions or subjective feelings.

Question 31: An officer needs to document observing a suspect discarding an item. Which of the following sentences is the most clear, concise, and professional for an incident report?

The suspect, he discarded a small object, and I saw him do it as he fled.
It was observed by me that the suspect, while he was running away, discarded an object.
I observed the suspect discard a small object as he fled. (Correct answer)
A small object was discarded by the suspect, which I observed as he was fleeing the scene.

Correct answer: I observed the suspect discard a small object as he fled.

The sentence 'I observed the suspect discard a small object as he fled' is the best choice. It uses the active voice ('I observed'), which is direct and clear. The other options are either wordy, use the passive voice ('was discarded'), or have a conversational and unprofessional tone ('he...and I saw him do it').

Question 32: During a routine traffic stop, you discover that the driver is a fellow officer from a neighboring jurisdiction. The officer committed a minor speeding violation and subtly implies that they expect you to let them go with a warning. What is the best course of action?

Call your supervisor to the scene and ask them how you should proceed with the situation.
Let the officer go with a warning to maintain professional courtesy and avoid conflict.
Issue the ticket as you would for any other citizen to ensure fair and impartial enforcement of the law. (Correct answer)
Issue a verbal warning but report the officer's behavior to their commanding officer later.

Correct answer: Issue the ticket as you would for any other citizen to ensure fair and impartial enforcement of the law.

This question assesses integrity and impartiality. The law must be applied equally to everyone, regardless of their profession. Giving special treatment to another officer undermines public trust and the principle of equal justice. While exercising discretion (giving a warning) might be an option for any citizen, the implication of expected favoritism requires the officer to act with clear impartiality by issuing the ticket.

Question 33: An officer observes a minor traffic violation but immediately notices the driver is rushing someone experiencing a medical emergency. How should the officer respond?

Exercise professional discretion to prioritize the medical emergency (Correct answer)
Ignore both the violation and the emergency situation
Call for a supervisor before taking any action at all
Issue the citation as required by law regardless of circumstances

Correct answer: Exercise professional discretion to prioritize the medical emergency

Officer discretion allows prioritizing life safety over minor violations within legal authority.

Question 34: A dispatcher receives three calls about a suspicious person: Caller 1 says 'tall male in a red jacket'; Caller 2 says 'tall guy, red jacket, carrying a bag'; Caller 3 says 'man with a red jacket, maybe 6 feet.' What is the strongest deductive conclusion about the suspect's description?

The suspect is definitely dangerous
Only Caller 2's description is accurate
The descriptions are too inconsistent to use
A tall male in a red jacket is a reliable composite description (Correct answer)

Correct answer: A tall male in a red jacket is a reliable composite description

All three callers independently agree on 'tall male in a red jacket,' making that the most reliable deductively supported composite.

Question 35: A draft of an incident report contains the following sentence: 'The victim refused medical attention, he stated he would see his own doctor.' What is the primary grammatical error in this sentence?

Incorrect capitalization
Comma splice (Correct answer)
Subject-verb disagreement
Spelling error

Correct answer: Comma splice

The sentence contains a comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses (complete sentences) are joined together with only a comma. 'The victim refused medical attention' is a complete sentence, and 'he stated he would see his own doctor' is also a complete sentence. They should be joined by a period, a semicolon, or a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (e.g., 'and,' 'but').

Question 36: Read this excerpt: 'An officer may use force that is reasonable and necessary under the totality of the circumstances. Factors considered include the severity of the crime, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat, and whether the suspect is actively resisting or attempting to evade arrest.' A suspect is arrested for jaywalking and immediately complies with the officer. Which level of force would most likely be considered reasonable under this standard?

Significant physical force due to the arrest situation
Handcuffing with physical takedown as a precaution
Use of a control device to ensure officer safety
Verbal commands only, given the minor offense and compliance (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Verbal commands only, given the minor offense and compliance

The offense is minor (jaywalking), the suspect poses no immediate threat, and there is no resistance, so only verbal commands would be reasonable under this standard.

Question 37: If a building has been broken into, at least one point of entry will show signs of forced access. Investigators found no signs of forced access at the warehouse. What can be concluded?

The perpetrator had a key
The break-in occurred through the roof
The evidence was destroyed
The warehouse was not broken into (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The warehouse was not broken into

The contrapositive of 'if break-in then forced entry' is 'if no forced entry then no break-in,' which applies here.

Question 38: Employees working within organizations have a legislative obligation to monitor the content of e-mails sent to external bodies and to eliminate potentially sensitive internal information regardless of the perceived importance of that information. To guarantee that employees fulfill their legislative obligation and to prevent the possible leak of the exclusive information, employers have prepared mandatory contracts stipulating this responsibility, to be signed by all employees, and additionally, inserted a copyright section to every external e-mail that emphasizes the confidentiality of the information provided. Employees’ carelessness in handling information circulated via email may result in serious punitive action. What is the legislative obligation of an employee working in an organization?

Refrain from sending personal emails.
Sign a contract stipulating her responsibilities.
Prevent leakage of sensitive information. (Correct answer)
Accept punitive action when necessary.

Correct answer: Prevent leakage of sensitive information.

Explanation: ‘Legislative obligation’ is used in the passage to express the requirement to monitor e-mail content in order to prevent sensitive information from leaking outside of the organization: ‘employees working within organizations have a legislative obligation to monitor the content of e-mails… and to eliminate potentially sensitive internal information’.

Question 39: A liquor store owner reports that shoplifting incidents occur exclusively during peak hours when all staff are occupied with customers. This pattern MOST LIKELY suggests:

Impulsive theft being more emotionally triggered in busy environments
Regular customers exploiting the distraction of crowded sale periods
A deliberate offender who has observed the store's staffing patterns (Correct answer)
Employee theft being disguised as customer shoplifting

Correct answer: A deliberate offender who has observed the store's staffing patterns

Selecting only the precise windows when all staff are occupied requires prior observation of store operations, indicating a calculated offender.

Question 40: Choose the word that best completes the sentence: "The officer's testimony was entirely ________ with the physical evidence collected at the scene."

ambiguous
contradictory
consistent (Correct answer)
unrelated

Correct answer: consistent

"Consistent" means in agreement or harmony with, which fits the context of testimony matching physical evidence.

Question 41: A motorist flags you down and tells you her purse was just snatched two blocks away. She provides a detailed description of the suspect. What should you do first?

File a report and wait for detectives to investigate
Broadcast the suspect description immediately and begin searching the area (Correct answer)
Take a full report at the station before broadcasting information
Ask the victim to identify the suspect from a photo lineup first

Correct answer: Broadcast the suspect description immediately and begin searching the area

Broadcasting a timely suspect description maximizes the chance of apprehension while the suspect is still in the area.

Question 42: Choose the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement.

The list of stolen items were recovered.
The list of stolen items was recovered. (Correct answer)
The list of stolen items are being recovered.
The list of stolen items have been recovered.

Correct answer: The list of stolen items was recovered.

The subject is 'list' (singular), so the verb must be 'was,' not 'were' or 'have been.'

Question 43: An officer encounters a stabbing victim who is bleeding severely. The suspect fled minutes ago. What is the CORRECT first action?

Begin interviewing witnesses while their memories are still fresh
Request emergency medical services and render first aid to the victim (Correct answer)
Secure and photograph the crime scene before anyone disturbs evidence
Broadcast a description of the fleeing suspect to assist in apprehension

Correct answer: Request emergency medical services and render first aid to the victim

Preserving a victim's life always takes priority over evidence collection or suspect pursuit.

Question 44: Read the following witness statement: 'The car sped through the intersection just as the light turned red. It was a dark blue sedan, maybe a Honda or a Toyota, and it had a large dent in the passenger side door. The driver was wearing a red baseball cap, but I couldn't see their face clearly. The car turned right on Elm Street immediately after the intersection.' Which of the following details is the witness LEAST certain about?

The color of the driver's hat.
The location of the damage on the car.
The color of the car.
The make of the car. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The make of the car.

The witness states the car was 'maybe a Honda or a Toyota,' which indicates uncertainty and presents two possibilities. The other details (dark blue color, dent on passenger door, red baseball cap) are stated with more certainty.

Question 45: A witness says she saw the suspect running north at 9:00 PM. A store camera places the suspect buying coffee two miles south at 9:05 PM. What logically follows?

The suspect traveled north and then immediately south
The camera footage has been fabricated
The witness is intentionally lying
The witness's account contains an inconsistency (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The witness's account contains an inconsistency

The two accounts cannot both be accurate given the distance and the five-minute window between them.

Question 46: When executing a search warrant for a private residence, which step must occur BEFORE officers enter the home?

A supervisor must be present on scene and authorize the entry
Officers must knock and announce their authority and purpose unless a no-knock provision is authorized (Correct answer)
The warrant must be read aloud outside the residence before entry is made
All occupants must be identified and accounted for prior to entry

Correct answer: Officers must knock and announce their authority and purpose unless a no-knock provision is authorized

The knock-and-announce rule is a constitutional requirement that protects both officers and occupants unless specifically waived by the court.

Question 47: Choose the sentence with the correct verb tense for a police report describing a past event.

The victim stated that she was attacked at her home. (Correct answer)
The victim will state she was attacked at her home.
The victim is stating that she had been attacked at her home.
The victim states she was attacked at her home.

Correct answer: The victim stated that she was attacked at her home.

In police reports documenting past events, past tense ('stated') maintains consistency with the factual account.

Question 48: Which of the following is a run-on sentence?

After the chase, the suspect was apprehended.
The suspect ran the officer gave chase immediately. (Correct answer)
Both the suspect and his accomplice were arrested.
The suspect ran, but the officer caught him.

Correct answer: The suspect ran the officer gave chase immediately.

'The suspect ran the officer gave chase immediately' fuses two independent clauses without proper punctuation or a conjunction.

Question 49: A fire was reported at 11:30 PM. The fire marshal determines it had been burning for approximately 2 hours before the report. When did the fire most likely start?

10:00 PM
9:30 PM (Correct answer)
11:00 PM
10:30 PM

Correct answer: 9:30 PM

Subtracting 2 hours from the 11:30 PM report time gives an estimated start time of 9:30 PM.

Question 50: An officer writes: "The perpetuator fled the scene in a red vehicle." What is wrong with this sentence?

"Fled" should be "fleed"
"Perpetuator" is not a real word; the correct term is "perpetrator" (Correct answer)
The sentence is correctly written
"Vehicle" should be "automobile"

Correct answer: "Perpetuator" is not a real word; the correct term is "perpetrator"

The correct law enforcement term is "perpetrator," not "perpetuator."
