Answer questions 60–64 based upon the following information.

Police recruits were told the following rules for requesting search warrants based upon information gained from confidential informants (CI).

1. Community member standard. The CI must either be well known in the community to be a person upon whom police may reasonably rely to provide only credible information, and circumstances and evidence known to law enforcement support the information provided; or

2. Known informant standard. The CI must have provided information in the past that proved to be reliable, and circumstances and evidence known to law enforcement support the information provided.

As part of a training exercise the recruits were given the following scenario.

In December 2017, the police received a tip from a previously unknown person that a man named “Pete” was selling cocaine at 15502 Parklane Avenue, No. 234 in Atlantic City. The address was on the ground floor of a two-story apartment building that is located in the Parklane Apartment Complex. The informant described Pete as white, about 25, 5 ft 9 in tall, and 235 lbs. After the police showed the informant pictures of Chris Moore, Jarvis Petry, and William Moore, the informant identified Pete as William. A criminal background check revealed that both Chris and William Moore had previous convictions for drug offenses and Petry had a conviction for weapons trafficking.

The informant agreed to help police perform a controlled buy at 15502 Parklane Avenue, No. 234. The informant claimed to live in apartment No. 233, next door to Pete and directly across from the stairwell leading upstairs. This information was never verified. The layout of the buildings within the apartment complex prevented police from gaining a direct view of the entrance to apartment No. 234, but they knew based upon having accessed the other buildings within the complex that the ground floor of building No. 200 contained apartments numbered 230, 231, 232, 233, and 234. The hallway to access the front doors of these apartments was offset from the heavy wooden entry door to the building. As a result, police did not see the informant physically enter the residence. They could observe only the general area of the apartment building. Later, the informant met the police at the predetermined location where he told the officers that while inside apartment No. 234, he handed money to Pete in exchange for cocaine. A field test confirmed that the substance was indeed cocaine.

The police applied for a warrant to search 15502 Parklane Avenue, No. 234. Police Detective Roberts submitted a sworn affidavit in support of the warrant. The affidavit described the informant as having proven reliable and that he provided information in the past that resulted in the arrest of numerous suspects. It further described the informant’s identification of William Moore and Moore’s criminal history. The affidavit detailed the controlled drug purchase conducted with the assistance of the informant at 15502 Parklane Avenue, No. 234, including the fact that police were unable to establish surveillance directly on the entrance to that apartment. The affidavit recited that police had received numerous complaints from residents about constant drug activity in the 15000 block of Parklane Avenue. It also stated that it is difficult for police to gain entry to Parklane Apartment Complex without being noticed.

60. Should the police detective have requested a search warrant to search the apartment?

(A) Yes. The CI met the community member standard.

(B) Yes. The CI met the known informant standard.

(D) No. The police had no supporting evidence to support the CI’s allegations.

61. What was the real name of the person accused of selling drugs?

(A) Pete Moore

(B) William Moore

(D) Jarvis Petry

62. Based upon the information provided, how many apartments are most likely located within building No. 200?

(A) 5

(B) 9

(D) 15

63. Which apartment was located directly across from the stairwell?

(A) No. 231

(B) No. 232

(D) No. 234D

64. How did police establish that the CI entered Pete’s apartment?

(B) Police watched the CI enter the apartment.
