  1. A policy document states agents must document 'the weather conditions, lighting conditions, and time of day' for all moving violation observations. An agent notes the time and lighting but forgets weather. The report is:

    Answer: Incomplete because all three conditions are required

    Policy requires all three conditions; omitting any one makes the report incomplete.

  2. An agent reads a sign: 'STREET CLEANING NO PARKING TUE & THUR 8AM-11AM.' Today is Tuesday at 10:45 AM. A vehicle has been parked since 8:00 AM according to the meter receipt on the dashboard. What action is correct?

    Answer: Issue a citation for violating street cleaning restrictions

    The vehicle has been parked during the entire restricted period on the correct day, warranting a citation.

  3. A department directive states: 'Agents shall not accept gifts, gratuities, or favors from members of the public.' A driver offers a gift card to avoid a citation. The agent should:

    Answer: Decline and issue the citation as warranted

    The directive prohibits all gifts regardless of form; the agent must decline and proceed with the citation.

  4. A field manual states 'double-parking is defined as a vehicle stopped or parked alongside a vehicle already at the curb.' An agent sees a van stopped next to a parked car on a two-lane street. This is:

    Answer: A double-parking violation

    The van is stopped alongside a curb-parked vehicle, which meets the manual's definition of double-parking.

  5. A procedural notice states agents must radio dispatch before arranging a tow to confirm the vehicle is not reported stolen. An agent skips this step and arranges a tow. The problem is:

    Answer: The agent failed to follow required procedure, which could cause complications if the car was stolen

    Skipping the required dispatch confirmation could lead to improper handling if the vehicle was already reported stolen.

  6. A bulletin defines 'blocking a fire hydrant' as parking within 15 feet of a hydrant on either side. An agent measures 12 feet between a parked vehicle's bumper and the nearest hydrant. The agent should:

    Answer: Issue a citation because 12 feet is less than 15 feet

    At 12 feet, the vehicle is within the 15-foot prohibited zone as defined by the bulletin.

  7. An agent's daily log requires entries in chronological order with no blank lines between entries. The agent notices a blank line between two entries in their log. The correct action is:

    Answer: Draw a single line through the blank space and initial it

    Standard practice for official logs is to draw a line through blank spaces and initial them to prevent unauthorized additions.
