OACP Sigma 4

Question 1

During a Sigma test scenario, a witness states that a suspect 'turned left, then right, then left again' before entering a building. If the witness was facing north, in which direction was the suspect ultimately heading when entering?

Accepted Answer

West

Answer

Starting facing north, turning left faces west, turning right faces north, turning left again faces west — so the suspect was heading west.

Question 2

In a Sigma logical reasoning section, you are told: 'All officers in Unit A are trained in crisis negotiation. Officer Chen is not trained in crisis negotiation.' What can you conclude?

Accepted Answer

Officer Chen is not in Unit A

Answer

Since all Unit A officers have crisis negotiation training and Chen lacks it, Chen cannot be in Unit A.

Question 3

A Sigma memory recall segment shows you a street scene for 60 seconds. You later recall that the scene had 3 parked cars, 2 pedestrians, and 1 cyclist. If the actual scene had 4 parked cars, 1 pedestrian, and 2 cyclists, how many individual items did you miscount?

Accepted Answer

3

Answer

Cars were off by 1, pedestrians off by 1, cyclists off by 1 — three categories were miscounted.

Question 4

In the Sigma written communication component, which sentence is grammatically correct and professionally appropriate for a police report?

Accepted Answer

The suspect fled southbound through the alley at a high rate of speed.

Answer

Option B uses correct grammar, precise directional language, and professional police report vocabulary.

Question 5

A Sigma situational judgment scenario presents: You observe a colleague falsifying overtime records. Your supervisor is aware of the behavior but takes no action. What is the MOST appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

Report the behavior through the appropriate internal integrity channel

Answer

Reporting through proper integrity channels upholds ethical obligations and departmental policy regardless of supervisory inaction.
