Question 3

An officer memorizes a vehicle description: 2019 Honda Civic, silver, license plate NJX-4421, northbound on 3rd Street. Later, the officer is asked about the license plate. Which is correct?

Accepted Answer

NJX-4421

Answer

The correct plate as memorized is NJX-4421. All other options have transposed characters.

Question 4

After observing a scene for 45 seconds, an officer is asked: 'Was there a fire hydrant visible?' The officer did not specifically notice one. The BEST response is:

Accepted Answer

I did not observe a fire hydrant during my observation

Answer

Accurate reporting requires distinguishing between 'I did not see it' and 'it was not there' — reporting only what was actually observed.

Question 5

An officer observes a suspect described as: approximately 6 feet tall, heavyset, wearing a blue baseball cap, dark jeans, and white sneakers, carrying a red backpack. The officer spots a person matching this description except they are wearing black sneakers. Should the officer stop this person?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because multiple significant features match and footwear can easily be changed

Answer

Multiple primary identifying features match (height, build, cap, jeans, backpack). Footwear is easily changed and is a minor discrepancy that doesn't eliminate the strong overall match.
