  1. A evidence bag contains 14 grams of suspected cocaine. The legal threshold for a felony possession charge is 10 grams. By how many grams does the seized amount exceed the felony threshold?

    Answer: 4 grams

    14 grams − 10 grams = 4 grams over the felony threshold.

  2. A officer responds to a noise complaint at 11:45 PM and clears the scene at 12:30 AM the next day. How long was the officer on scene?

    Answer: 45 minutes

    From 11:45 PM to 12:30 AM is 45 minutes.

  3. A department is calculating overtime. An officer's base hourly rate is $28. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the base rate. If the officer works 6 hours of overtime this week, what is the total overtime pay?

    Answer: $252

    Overtime rate = $28 × 1.5 = $42/hour. Total overtime = $42 × 6 = $252.

  4. In a precinct, there were 240 burglaries last year. This year there were 192 burglaries. What is the percentage decrease in burglaries?

    Answer: 20%

    Percentage decrease = (240 − 192) / 240 × 100 = 48 / 240 × 100 = 20%.

  5. A police cruiser has a fuel tank capacity of 22 gallons. The vehicle gets 14 miles per gallon on patrol. If the cruiser starts a shift with a full tank, how many miles can it travel before the tank is empty?

    Answer: 308 miles

    Total miles = 22 gallons × 14 miles/gallon = 308 miles.

  6. A sergeant is scheduling 4 patrol officers to cover 24 hours using 8-hour shifts. Each shift needs exactly 1 officer. How many total shifts must the 4 officers collectively cover per day to ensure 24-hour coverage?

    Answer: 3 shifts

    24 hours ÷ 8 hours per shift = 3 shifts needed to cover 24 hours.
