State Trooper Reading Comprehension and Logic 5

Question 1

Passage: 'Troopers shall complete a daily activity log listing all stops, citations, and incidents. Logs are due by end of each shift.' Trooper Okafor made 4 stops, issued 2 citations, and responded to 1 incident. What must be in his log?

Accepted Answer

All 4 stops, 2 citations, and the incident

Answer

The policy requires all stops, citations, and incidents to be documented — all three categories must appear in the log.

Question 2

A suspect tells a trooper: 'I was at the diner at 7 PM, then at the gym until 9 PM, then home.' A witness places the suspect at the crime scene at 8:30 PM. What is the logical implication?

Accepted Answer

The suspect's alibi conflicts with the witness account and requires investigation

Answer

A conflict between the suspect's stated alibi and a witness's account creates an inconsistency that must be investigated — neither is automatically true.

Question 3

A law reads: 'Driving with a suspended license is a misdemeanor on the first offense and a felony on the second offense.' A driver is stopped and found to have a prior suspended-license conviction. What charge applies?

Accepted Answer

Felony, because this is a second offense

Answer

The law elevates the charge to a felony on the second offense — a prior conviction makes this the second offense.

Question 4

A trooper reads an incident narrative: 'Upon arrival, Officer Lee observed the front door ajar, lights on inside, and no response to knocking.' Which is the most logical next step based solely on this information?

Accepted Answer

Request backup and conduct a welfare check

Answer

An ajar door, lights on, and no response suggest a possible welfare issue — requesting backup and conducting a welfare check is the prudent, measured response.

Question 5

Memo: 'Effective next month, speed enforcement zones in school areas will be expanded from 7 AM–4 PM to 7 AM–6 PM on school days.' A trooper stops a driver at 5 PM near a school on a school day after the change takes effect. Is this within the enforcement window?

Accepted Answer

Yes, enforcement now extends to 6 PM

Answer

The new policy extends enforcement to 6 PM on school days, so a 5 PM stop falls within the window.
