Police Officer Exam

Welcome to the practice tests for the Police Officer Exam. Remember, since this is an eBook, directions will look similar to those you will see on test day, but you will need to record all of your answers separately.
Good luck!

Practice Examination One

This exam is the first of three practice examinations you will be taking. This examination is an original examination prepared to conform with the actual police officer examination as closely as possible. When you have finished taking all three examinations, you will see that you are prepared to take most major police officer examinations, including those for Transit and Housing Police Officer.

Be sure to take Practice Examination One in one sitting. You will then become accustomed to concentrating for a period of 4 hours, which is the length of time allowed for the examination. Be sure to review the test-taking strategy outlined in the Introduction before taking this practice examination.

At the end of 10 minutes you are to stop reading the material, turn the page, and answer the questions without referring to the written material.

Note: Do not include this 10-minute period in the 4-hour time limit for completing the examination.

You are Police Officer John Madden, shield #3232 of the 64th Precinct in Queens. You are assigned for today, May 19, as the operator of RMP 3220, Sector Edward of the 64th Precinct. The tour you are working is 1600 by 2400 hours, and your partner is Police Officer Martin Balsam, shield #3331, also of the 64th Precinct. Your immediate supervisor is Sergeant Donald Black, shield #113. The time is now 1720 hours.

A radio call from the dispatcher has just been directed to your unit. You are to respond to the Interboro Highway, eastbound, near Metropolitan Street. There has just been a three-car accident at that location, and personal injury is involved. Two ambulances have also been dispatched to the scene.

You attempt to enter the highway at the eastbound entrance at Grant Street, which is just west of Metropolitan Street, but the traffic has become impassable. You notify Sergeant Black of the traffic jam on the highway. He instructs you to respond to the accident scene by entering the highway westbound at York Avenue, which is just east of the accident, and approaching the accident from the westbound side of the highway. The sergeant also directs Sector Frank of the 64th Precinct to respond to the eastbound exit at Grant Street to detour traffic off the highway. Further, he directs the dispatcher to inform the responding ambulances to approach the accident by using the westbound lane of the highway.

Upon arrival at the accident location approximately ten minutes after you have received the call, you determine that additional assistance is needed for traffic control. You inform Sergeant Black, and he directs the dispatcher to send Sector George to assist you. Sector George arrives approximately five minutes later and proceeds to direct traffic around the disabled vehicles from the accident. In the meantime, you and your partner determine that there are four injured persons: the driver and one passenger of vehicle number one, the driver of vehicle number two, and a passenger from vehicle number three. You then gather the following information:

1.Vehicle One: A blue late-model Datsun, two-door sedan, New York State Registration #16 BFN, owned and operated by Jerry Goodman of 1543 Eastern Avenue of the Bronx.

2.Vehicle Two: A black, late-model Ford, four-door sedan, New York State Registration #85 SWE, owned and operated by Harvey Richter of 54-31 Metropolitan Street, Queens.

3.Vehicle Three: A green, late-model Plymouth, four-door sedan, New Jersey Registration #445 FGF, owned and operated by James Kirk of 3241 Jersey Avenue, Newark, New Jersey.

Moments later the two ambulances arrive: one from Bayside Hospital, the other from Malba Hospital. The two injured parties from vehicle number one are put in the Bayside Hospital ambulance; and the other two injured parties are placed in the Malba Hospital ambulance.

According to accounts obtained from uninjured participants in the accident and from two impartial eyewitnesses, the accident occurred when vehicle number one made an unsafe lane change, causing vehicle number two to brake hard to avoid hitting vehicle number one in the rear. Vehicle number three then slammed vehicle number two in the rear, which caused vehicle number two to pile into the rear of vehicle number one.

Directions: Answer questions 26 through 35 solely on the basis of the following narrative and Civilian Complaint Report. Some of the boxes on the form are numbered and others are not. The boxes are not necessarily consecutively numbered.

On Wednesday, July 8, at about 2230 hours, Mr. Manny Rodriquez, of 8207 First Avenue, Manhattan, Apartment 25, telephone number 262-4511, came to the Third Precinct station house to make a civilian complaint. The details are as follows:

At about 2200 hours, July 8, Mr. Rodriquez was walking south on Broadway at the intersection of Chambers Street. He had just finished work at the Gleem Computer Company of 280 Broadway, telephone number 374-0001, where he is employed as a key punch operator. He was on his way to the subway when he met a co-worker, Lydia James. Suddenly a uniformed police officer on foot patrol approached him. The officer took Mr. Rodriquez into City Hall Park and searched him. Ms. James, who lives at 322 Archer Street, Staten Island, telephone number 743-3304, witnessed the incident. She, however, became frightened and ran away.

According to the complainant, he was searched and then told by the police officer that he looked like a trouble maker and that the officer knew how to control “his kind.” The officer then pushed Mr. Rodriquez and told him to “beat it.”

Mr. Rodriquez was very upset and returned to his place of employment. There he met John Colon, his office supervisor. Mr. Colon told Mr. Rodriquez that he should report the incident to the precinct. Mr. Rodriquez agreed, but did not think he could do it because he did not speak English very well. Mr. Colon, who lives at 46-02 Bellow Street, Queens, telephone number 820-0603, said he would go to the precinct with Mr. Rodriquez and help explain the details.

They went to the Third Precinct station house and Mr. Rodriquez, with Mr. Colon’s help, restated what had taken place. Sergeant Howe had them prepare a Civilian Complaint Form and asked if Mr. Rodriquez could describe the police officer. He said he could. He said the officer was white, about five feet eight inches, with a shield number of 770. That was all he could remember.

At 2245 hours, Sergeant Howe called the complaint into the Civilian Complaint Review Board and spoke to Police Officer Wilson. The Civilian Complaint Review Board (C.C.R.B.) serial number of 2046 was assigned by Officer Wilson, whose shield number is 84. The sergeant thanked them for bringing the matter to his attention and said that the matter would be further investigated. Mr. Rodriquez and Mr. Colon left the station house at 2300 hours.

Directions: Answer questions 46 through 52 solely on the basis of the following information.

The police handling of family disputes has received an increasing amount of attention in recent years. Quite often, such situations involve complex decisions because of the potential for physical danger both to the police officer and the parties involved in the dispute.

In the past, when some police officers responded to scenes of family disputes, they invariably referred the people involved to Family Court without arresting anyone. Such handling was considered “the practical way” to handle these situations because, in a matter of days, hours, or even minutes, the antagonists would resolve their differences and reconcile. This prompted the people involved to feel that the police had not discharged their duties properly. Indeed, a lawsuit was instituted on behalf of some wives who felt that the police should have arrested their husbands instead of attempting to mediate the problem or refer it to court. In some instances the Department agreed that an arrest should have been made and, accordingly, the Department policy in this Bulletin was developed.

Department Policy

The victim of a criminal act which occurs in the home or involves another family member has the right to demand that police take appropriate action. This action may include an arrest. The fact that the persons involved are related should not matter. Accordingly, the following two situations demonstrate departmental policy with respect to the role of the police officer at the scene of a dispute involving a husband and a wife.

A. THE POLICE ARE SUMMONED TO A LOCATION, AND A SPOUSE (HUSBAND OR WIFE) OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS AN ORDER OF PROTECTION ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE FAMILY COURT ACT.

When the police arrive at the scene of a dispute where one of the parties alleges that he or she has an Order of Protection, they should ask for a copy of that Order. A police officer has a right to see the Order of Protection before making a decision as to how to proceed. The Order will indicate the type of conduct prohibited and its date of expiration. If the person to whom the order was issued (the Petitioner) asks the officer to arrest the offender (the Respondent) for violations of the Order, that Respondent must be taken into custody if there is probable cause to believe that the Order has been violated. The fact that the people involved are husband and wife may not be a factor in determining the existence of probable cause.

If the person who violated the Order is absent when the police arrive, normal procedures should be followed.

An Order of Protection may prohibit conduct which is not ordinarily criminal in itself. For instance, an Order may demand that the spouse not appear in an intoxicated condition before the children; not be present in a specific location; or not use abusive language in front of his or her spouse, children, etc. Arrests will be made in such situations even though the conduct is not criminal.

If an Order of Protection has been violated and the petitioner-victim does not want the respondent arrested, the officer should make an appropriate entry in his/her log book and ask the victim to sign it. If the victim refuses, the officer should write the words, “refused signature” in lieu of the person’s signature. Such an entry will serve to protect the police officer in the event of future legal action against the officer, the Police Department, or the City of New York since such an entry will permanently record the reason that no arrest was made.

B. THE POLICE RESPOND TO A SITUATION IN WHICH ONE SPOUSE ALLEGES THAT THE OTHER SPOUSE PUSHED, SHOVED, KICKED, STRUCK, OR OTHERWISE PHYSICALLY ABUSED HIM OR HER.

If the dispute involves some type of physical abuse, such as pushing, shoving, kicking, or punching; but there is no physical injury, the offense involved is harassment. Harassment is a violation, but must have occurred in the presence of an officer for an arrest to be made legally. In cases of this nature, the complaining party should be referred to Family Court for an Order of Protection, or to the Summons Part of the Criminal Court of the City of New York.

BY DIRECTION OF THE POLICE COMMISSIONER

DISTRIBUTED TO ALL COMMANDS

46.In the past, “the practical way” to handle family disputes was considered

(A)arresting everyone concerned.

(B)disregarding violations of law.

(C)informal mediation since the antagonists would soon resolve their differences.

(D)referring those involved to Family Court without arresting anyone.

47.On December 11, Officer Paula Parker responds to the home of Mrs. Virginia Blake. Mrs. Blake possesses a valid Order of Protection to prohibit her husband, Otto Blake, from being in her residence. Mr. Blake is in the house and has possession of a deed for the house which indicates that he is co-owner. Mrs. Blake wants her husband arrested. Mr. Blake is now quite willing to leave and never return. Officer Parker, after considering the above facts, arrests Otto Blake.

Based upon the above information, Officer Parker’s action in this case was

(A)proper, since the Order of Protection was violated and Mrs. Blake wants an arrest made.

(B)improper, since Otto Blake is a co-owner of the house.

(C)proper, since Otto Blake is known by the officer to beat his wife.

(D)improper, since Otto Blake’s conduct is not criminal.

48.Family disputes often involve complex decisions because they have the potential for

(A)future legal action against the police officer and the City of New York.

(B)physical danger to the police and the parties involved.

(C)a continuing drain on police resources.

(D)a drain on the resources of the courts.

49.At 0930 hours, on August 19, Officer Rudolph Martin is dispatched to 2914 Powell Street in the Borough of Brooklyn. This address is Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson’s residence. Upon arrival, Officer Martin is told by James Wilson that while trying to sleep the previous night, he was repeatedly shoved off the bed by his wife, Edna Wilson. Although he did not receive physical injury, he wanted his wife arrested for physical abuse.

Based upon the above information, Officer Martin should

(A)arrest Edna Wilson since she has no legal right to abuse her husband.

(B)refer James Wilson to Family Court or Criminal Court.

Officer Dackson requested to see the Order of Protection, and Mrs. Simpson refused to show it to him. Based on Mrs. Simpson’s refusal to show the order, the officer refused to arrest Harry Simpson.

Based upon the previous information, Officer Dackson’s actions were

(A)proper, since all civilians must obey the police.

(B)improper, since Mrs. Simpson states that she has the Order of Protection.

(C)proper, since Officer Dackson has a right to see the Order of Protection.

(D)improper, since Mr. Simpson was present in the house at the time.

52.If an Order of Protection has been violated and the victim who possesses the order does not want the respondent arrested, the officer should

(A)arrest the respondent anyway.

(B)talk the victim into changing his/her mind.

(C)take no further action and resume patrol.

(D)make an appropriate log entry and ask the victim to sign it.

burglary in the second degree A person is guilty of this crime when he knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in a building with intent to commit a crime therein. He is also guilty of this crime when, in effecting the entry or while inside the building or while in immediate flight, he or another participant is armed with explosives or a deadly weapon, or uses a dangerous instrument, or causes physical injury to someone who is not a participant. (A dwelling is considered a building wherein a person usually lodges overnight.) Burglary in the second degree is a Class C felony.

On July 10, at 10 A.M., Spencer Marlond and Bob Kew climb in the open bedroom window of Jane Adams’s residence. Ms. Adams is in the bathroom taking a shower when the two men enter looking for valuables. She does not hear them enter. Marlond and Kew quickly go through her dresser drawers and remove a gold locket worth $280. They also remove $221 in U.S. currency. Kew has previously been convicted of burglary twice, and has vowed that he will never go to jail again. Kew has a switchblade knife in his jacket pocket and is ready to use it. Marlond has no knowledge of Kew’s past criminal record, nor that Kew is carrying a deadly weapon. The two men leave through Ms. Adams’s front door; they escape without being observed.

91.Based upon the above information, which of the following is the most accurate statement?

(A)Both men are guilty of burglary in the second degree since the total value of the property taken is more than $500.

(B)Kew is guilty of burglary in the second degree since he is carrying the switchblade knife; but Marlond, who knew nothing of the weapon, is not.

(C)Kew and Marlond would be guilty of burglary in the second degree only if Kew used the switchblade knife against Adams.

(D)If the two men had been discovered after entering the bedroom and had fled without taking property, they would still be charged with burglary in the second degree.

92.Based on the preceding definition and narrative, which of the following statements is false?

(A)No crime was committed because Ms. Adams left her windows open.

(B)The fact that the crime occurred at 10 A.M. has no bearing on the charge.

(C)If Ms. Adams had not been home, the scene of the crime would still be considered a “dwelling.”

(D)Kew’s prior record has no bearing on the charge.

Directions: Answer questions 98 through 100 solely on the basis of the following.

The two powers that the police have that set them apart from ordinary citizens is the power of arrest and the authority to use legal force. Since the authority to use legal force leaves much potential for abuse, the necessity to have strict guidelines regulating the use of the police revolver is very pressing. The following guidelines are typical of those that exist in most police departments today. They are not meant to restrict a police officer in the performance of his/her lawful duty, but are intended to reduce shooting incidents and, consequently, protect life and property. In every case, department policy requires only the minimum amount of force be used consistent with the accomplishment of the mission.

In addition to Penal Law restrictions on the use of deadly physical force, police officers will adhere to the following guidelines concerning the use of firearms:

1.Use all means before using firearm when effecting arrest to prevent or terminate a felony, or when defending self or others.

2.Do not fire warning shots.

3.Do not discharge firearm to summon assistance, except when safety is endangered.
