  1. A Sigma reading passage describes a community meeting where residents expressed concerns about speeding near a school, and officers agreed to increase patrols during school hours. Which conclusion is directly supported by the passage?

    Answer: Officers will conduct more patrols near the school during school hours

    The passage explicitly states that officers agreed to increase patrols during school hours. The other options introduce information not present in the passage.

  2. An officer starts facing north. She turns 90° clockwise, then 180° clockwise, then 90° counter-clockwise. Which direction is she now facing?

    Answer: South

    North → +90° CW = East → +180° CW = West → -90° CCW = South. The officer is now facing south.

  3. Which of the following sentences contains a spelling error relevant to police report writing?

    Answer: The witness provided a consistant account of the incident.

    'Consistant' is misspelled; the correct spelling is 'consistent'. Spelling errors in police reports can undermine credibility in legal proceedings.

  4. Under Ontario's Police Services Act, which of the following is listed as a core function of a police service?

    Answer: Crime prevention

    Crime prevention is explicitly listed as one of the five core functions of police services under the Ontario Police Services Act.

  5. A patrol area covers 240 square kilometres. Three officers share the area equally. How many square kilometres does each officer cover?

    Answer: 80 km²

    240 ÷ 3 = 80. Each officer covers 80 square kilometres.

  6. In a Sigma situational judgement scenario, a victim of domestic assault tells an officer she does not wish to press charges. What should the officer do?

    Answer: Explain that charges may be pursued by the Crown regardless of her decision and assess whether a mandatory charge applies

    In Ontario, domestic assault may involve mandatory charge policies. The victim's wishes are important but do not solely determine whether charges are laid. Officers must explain the process and conduct a proper risk assessment.
