Question 1

All officers on night shift must complete a vehicle inspection before patrol. Officer Davis is on night shift. Which conclusion is valid?

Accepted Answer

Officer Davis completed a vehicle inspection before patrol

Answer

If all night shift officers must complete inspections and Davis is on night shift, Davis must complete an inspection — a direct application of universal logic.

Question 2

A suspect fled north, then turned east for two blocks, then turned south for one block. Relative to the starting point, in which direction is the suspect now?

Accepted Answer

Northeast

Answer

Moving north then east places the suspect north and east of origin; moving south one block reduces the northward distance but the suspect remains northeast of the start.

Question 3

If no misdemeanor warrants are served after midnight, and Officers Chen and Rivera are serving warrants at 1:00 AM, what can be concluded?

Accepted Answer

They are serving felony warrants

Answer

Since misdemeanor warrants cannot be served after midnight and they are serving warrants at 1:00 AM, the warrants must be felony warrants.

Question 4

Examine the pattern: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___. What is the next number?

Accepted Answer

48

Answer

Each number is doubled: 3×2=6, 6×2=12, 12×2=24, so 24×2=48.

Question 5

A witness says the getaway car was either blue or green, and another witness says it was definitely not blue. What color was the car?

Accepted Answer

Green

Answer

If the car was blue or green and it was not blue, then by process of elimination it must be green.
