✍️ Sample NTN POLICE Questions & Answers
1. A 'Terry stop' (stop and frisk) requires an officer to have at minimum:
Terry v. Ohio (1968) held that a brief investigatory stop requires only reasonable, articulable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot.
2. Which physiological adaptation explains why consistent aerobic training improves an officer candidate's PAT performance across multiple events?
Aerobic training improves stroke volume, capillary density, and lactate clearance, allowing candidates to recover faster between high-intensity PAT events.
3. You watch a clip where a visibly intoxicated person is stumbling near a busy roadway at night. They refuse to accept help and say they are fine. What should you do?
An intoxicated person near traffic presents an immediate danger to themselves, justifying a protective detention and medical evaluation.
4. 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?
From 11:45 PM to 12:30 AM is 45 minutes.
5. An officer is logging evidence from a narcotics seizure. The total weight of the confiscated substance is 2,450 grams. How much is this in kilograms?
There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram. To convert grams to kilograms, you divide the number of grams by 1,000. So, 2,450 / 1,000 = 2.45 kilograms.
6. A dispatcher gives an officer directions: 'Go north two blocks, east three blocks, south two blocks.' Where is the officer relative to the starting point?
Going north two blocks then south two blocks cancels out, leaving only the three blocks eastward displacement.
