    1. No, because she was unaware that the credit card was canceled.
    2. Yes, because it is her responsibility to keep up with her credit card accounts.

    i.) Under 18 years of age, OR

    ii.) Likely to commit suicide, OR

    iii.) Mentally or physically handicapped, OR

    iv.) Absent under suspicious circumstances, OR

    v.) A possible victim of drowning.

  4. According to this definition, which of the following should NOT be classified as a missing person?

    1. Calvin Colcheck, a 15-year old male, is reported missing from his home in Queens by his parents. He was grounded three days earlier for receiving poor grades in mathematics and Spanish this semester.

    3. Daniel Donker, a 23-year old mentally impaired male, is reported missing from the Manhattan facility where he lives. He was last seen following a parade passing down the street.

  5. During a simulation exercise, recruits learn that as officers, they may be required to aid in a situation involving radioactive contamination. Given that exposure to radioactive material is highly dangerous, ALL members of the service must follow these safety guidelines:

    • Use appropriate personal protective equipment when evaluating and treating patients/victims known or suspected to be contaminated with radioactive material
    • Pregnant officers should not be permitted to work in:
      • Pre-decontamination areas
      • Decontamination areas
      • Areas where internally contaminated patients are cared for or domiciled
      • Areas where there are elevated levels of environmental radiation
    • All officers responding to a radiation emergency should wear a personal radiation dosimeter to monitor dose. Consult with a hospital radiation safety officer about type(s) and proper wearing of personal radiation dosimeters:
      • Dose rate meters (with or without alarms)
      • Accumulated dose meters (with or without alarms)
      • Finger ring dosimeters if the dose to hands or fingers is likely to be higher than the dose to the torso where the main dosimeter is worn

  6. Based on this information, it would be most accurate for recruits to conclude that the main reason behind these guidelines is

    1. keeping the situation confidential by restricting areas where officers can be.
    2. maintaining proper control of the situation to ensure no radioactive material is taken off-site.
    3. ensuring the safety of officers concerning radiation poisoning.
    4. controlling the situation to ensure that any data collected is as pure as possible.

  10. Based on this criterion, is it proper or improper for Officer Holston to arrest a scruffy man sitting on a curb, drinking from a bottle in a paper bag, who seems paranoid?

    1. Improper, because the officer has no proof that the suspect committed a crime; this is merely suspicion based on appearance
    2. Proper, because the suspect may be drinking alcohol, but the paper bag is concealing it
    3. Proper, because those who appear paranoid are a danger to the public
    4. Improper, because the officer cannot prove the man is paranoid

  13. Officer Drake is assigned to patrol the streets of a certain section of her town. Her patrol area consists of two main streets, Route 10 and Route 22, parallel to each other and half a mile apart. Five residential streets run between these two main streets, perpendicular to them: Bryan, Grange, Rockside, Indian Run, and Senn.

    She reviews the area crime statistics for the past year prior to the start of duty. Reports indicate that yard vandalism was isolated to Grange Street and that petty theft (e.g., garden gnomes, bird feeders, etc.) was isolated to Rockside, on all days of the week. Both types of crime are believed to occur between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. Illegal dragstrip racing has been reported along Route 10 in this area between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. on the weekends. Teens have been reported to gather in groups and drink on the corners of Indian Run and Senn all days of the week, between 9 p.m. and midnight.
