NYPD NYPD Visualization and Matching 5

Question 1

Officers study a block diagram showing a pharmacy on the north side of Oak Street, a laundromat directly across (south side), and a parking lot east of the pharmacy. A suspect was seen fleeing toward the parking lot. In which direction did the suspect run?

Accepted Answer

East

Answer

The parking lot was east of the pharmacy, so the suspect fled east.

Question 2

A NYPD exam question shows two nearly identical images of a street scene side by side, with the instruction to identify differences. Officers find: a missing trash can in Image B, a changed street sign, and an added pedestrian. How many differences were identified?

Accepted Answer

Three

Answer

Three differences were identified: a missing trash can, a changed street sign, and an added pedestrian.

Question 3

A suspect is described as wearing size 12 shoes with a distinctive chevron tread pattern. Officers find footprints at the scene. Which observation would BEST confirm a match to the suspect?

Accepted Answer

The footprint shows a chevron tread pattern and is consistent with a size 12 shoe

Answer

Both the size and the distinctive tread pattern matching together provide a much stronger confirmation than either alone.

Question 4

An officer views a wanted flyer showing a suspect with a nose ring in the left nostril, a neck tattoo reading 'MAMA', and cornrow braids. Later, the officer encounters a person with a nose ring in the RIGHT nostril, a neck tattoo reading 'MAMA', and cornrow braids. What is the most appropriate action?

Accepted Answer

Detain and investigate, as two of three specific features match and the nose ring side may be a witness error or image flip

Answer

Two highly specific features (neck tattoo text and hairstyle) match; the nose ring discrepancy may reflect a mirrored photo or witness error, warranting investigation.

Question 5

During a NYPD Patrol Guide exercise, officers are shown a diagram of a four-way intersection with traffic signals. The north-south road is Main Street and the east-west road is 5th Avenue. An officer standing on the southwest corner facing north is looking toward:

Accepted Answer

The northwest corner

Answer

Standing on the southwest corner and facing north, the officer looks directly toward the northwest corner across the intersection.
