1. Integrity
   Investigation
2. the Interior
   Information

Of course, it's "Investigation." The name indicates that the job of an FBI agent involves a lot of questioning, paper-trail-following, and interviewing. FBI agents aren't usually on the front lines of public safety (i.e, in skirmish lines during riots, etc).

1. An alias
   An alibi
2. An Informant
   Testimony

We're not sure how often police or prosecutors actually refer to "alibis," but it's certainly a popular term in crime fiction, TV and movies. The late Sue Grafton named her debut crime novel "A is for Alibi."

1. A misdemeanor
   A disorder
2. Low treason
   A small claim

Generally, crimes are divided into felonies and misdemeanors. A crime like burglary might qualify as either, depending on the monetary value of the items taken.

1. Enfant
   Emancipant
2. Minor
   Incompetent

If the word "emancipant" caught your eye, that one *is* related to being a minor. That is, "emancipation" is a legal process wherein someone younger than 18 -- but usually 15 or older -- can sue to become a legal adult, if they can show the ability to support themselves financially and otherwise.

1. Second Amendment rights
   Essential rights
2. Miranda rights
   Zapruder rights

The famous warning beginning "You have the right to remain silent" is named for Ernesto Miranda. In Miranda v. Arizona, the suspect was not informed of his right to an attorney, and the right to stay silent without one. As a result, his confession was rendered inadmissible.

1. Inducing a minor to commit a crime
   Lying under oath
2. Sexual assault
   Theft

"Larceny" is a broad term for stealing. You'll most often hear it in legal settings, not in everyday speech.

1. True
2. False

This was popularized by television and the movies, to the point that some novice officers actually do it, but it's not good procedure. Photographs and sketching are used to render a crime scene, and a uniformed officer blundering into the middle of a crime scene to make a chalk outline is actually considered to be "contaminating" it.

1. Drones
   Guns
2. Health benefits
   Radios

The "ten-code" is the long list of numerical codes officers use to talk "among themselves" on the radio. A commonly used one is "10-9," meaning "Say again" or "Please repeat."

1. Civil litigators
   Personal injury lawyers
2. Prosecutors
   Tax attorneys

Law enforcement officers and prosecutors tend to have a close working relationship. Prosecutors consult with officers while preparing a case for trial, prep those officers for their testimony, and generally rely on their testimony.

1. Alias
   Alibi
2. Address
   Antibody

These abbreviations means "Last Known Address" and "No Known Address." They're commonly applied to low-level, frequent offenders.

1. The blotter
   The blue book
2. The red book
   The roll call

You might remember Jay Leno's "Police Blotter" segment on "The Tonight Show." Like his "Headlines," the items were drawn from real police blotters. Our favorite: A farmer called police to say that five pounds of bacon had been stolen from his refrigerator in the night. Later, the farmer's wife contacted police to admit she'd gotten up in the middle of the night and eaten it all. (Holy cow, her arteries!)

1. A lieutenant or higher
   A judge
2. A prosecutor
   A grand jury

Judges must sign off on warrants, and it's usually prosecutors who ask judges to grant them. It doesn't matter how high-ranking a police or sheriff's officer is -- they can't issue warrants.

1. Arson
   Ignition
2. Malicious Mischief
   None of these

To qualify as arson, the fire-setting must be deliberate and with malicious intent. If you start a fire for personal or recreational purposes that gets out of hand and destroys property, you could be charged with civil infractions and fined, but this doesn't rise to the level of arson.

1. Burglars wear disguises.
   Robbery uses force or implied force.
2. Burglary takes place on a second story or higher.
   There is no difference.

Both of these are kinds of theft. Robbery implies the use of force, weapons or fear; burglary implies a break-in or stealth.

1. Someone crossed state lines in its commission.
   The crime was committed in Washington D.C. or on federal land.
2. It's listed in the federal penal code.
   The FBI had to be called in to investigate it.

A federal crime is simply one that is listed in the United States Code. Beyond that, what makes federal crimes "federal" is complicated -- they are as diverse as mail fraud, skyjacking, child pornography and much more.

1. A slang term for guns
   A slang term for the gallows
2. Private investigators for a notable agency
   A Wild West gang

The Allan Pinkerton Agency was so big in 19th-century America that "Pinkerton" was a casual term for P.I., and many middle-class or wealthy people turned to them in time of trouble rather than the police. As law-enforcement agencies adopted stricter professional standards and better training for officers, the influence of the Pinkerton Agency waned.

1. Alabama
   Alaska
2. Maine
   Texas

The Texas Rangers have an investigative role now, but they are still associated in the popular imagination with Texas's lawless, pre-statehood days. Writers such as James Lee Burke and Larry McMurtry have created memorable Ranger or ex-Ranger characters.

1. Airport police
   Campus police
2. Transit police
   These are all usually sworn officers.

If you get in trouble with a campus or airport police officer, we suggest treating them the same way you would a metro police officer. A statement to the effect of "You're just a glorified security guard!" is an excellent way to make your day a whole lot more complicated.

1. The attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan
   The Occupy Wall Street sit-ins
2. The bombing of the USS Cole
   The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001

Of course, it was 9/11. The Patriot Act is formally styled the USA PATRIOT act, meaning "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism." (How long did someone chew on the end of a pencil to make *that* work?)

1. A march of shame
   A perp walk
2. A trophy walk
   A victory lap

The "perp walk" is a way to show off a high-profile arrest. Civil-liberties advocates object to it as a public humiliation, but it has been defended when wealthy, well-connected suspects are "perp-walked," as a way of showing that no one is above the law.

1. Ruldolph Giuliani
   J. Edgar Hoover
2. Pat Garrett
   Franklin D. Roosevelt

Hoover brought the FBI into the 20th century, and expanded its powers. However, he's also been criticized for abuses of power, such as assembling dossiers of secret information on public figures, especially leftists and activists, potentially for use in extortion.

1. The classical Greek and Roman era
   The middle ages
2. The 19th century
   The 20th century

Though a few apocryphal stories exist about fingerprints being used as personal seals before the 19th century, it wasn't until the mid-19th century that it really became a science. The history of fingerprints is full of colorful characters and stories; whole books have been written about it.

1. The 1920s
   The 1940s
2. The 1960s
   The 1980s

Our understanding of DNA is very much a 20th-century phenomenon, with Watson and Crick making their "double helix" breakthrough in the 1950s. It was three decades later, in the mid-'80s, that DNA began to be used in solving crimes.

1. England
   India
2. Russia
   Scotland

London's main police department is called "Scotland Yard." It's actually named for the street that its rear entrance opened out onto, which was called Great Scotland Yard.

1. A Derringer
   A Glock
2. A Sig Sauer
   Either #1 or #3

Glock, Sig Sauer and Smith & Wesson are all common handguns in American law enforcement. The Derringer, in contrast, was the classic "lady's weapon" of the Old West -- very small, short-barreled and concealable.

1. The Department of Justice
   The Federal Bureau of Investigation
2. The National Security Agency
   The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

The keyword "department" might have been a tip-off here. The Justice Department isn't a law-enforcement agency per se, like the other three. It's a part of the federal government that oversees the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals, the BATF and more.

1. Air Force
   Army
2. Marines
   Air Force

The FBI Academy is commonly called "Quantico," but that's the name of the Marine base where it's located. The FBI has no greater connection to the Marines than to any other U.S. military branch -- it seems the location of the FBI Academy was just a matter of where space for training could be found.

1. Alterior
   Ulterior
2. Exterior
   Mitigating

If somebody ran onto the grounds of a country club, after hours, and jumped into the swimming pool, that'd be trespassing. But if he or she was suffering from a hallucination of being on fire, that would be a mitigating circumstance.

1. Yes, it's a step down from "Be on the Lookout"
2. No, it was just the name of a movie

OK, it *was* the name of a 2009 comedy with Anna Faris. But "Observe and Report" is an actual police practice, which stops short of arresting or even making contact with a suspect.

1. Bunk Lizard
   House Mouse
2. Desk Jockey
   Top Brass

While "desk jockey" might also be suitable, police have long used "house mouse." This term also describes a detective on call for weekend duty, because they need to stay at home, ready to respond, instead of going out partying.

1. All of them
   Fewer than 10
2. About half
   None, there's only a Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The name varies a bit, but all states have a version of the FBI. And like the national bureau, an SBI's duties are mostly investigative, rather than functioning as peacekeepers.

1. True
2. False.

The Supreme Court has ruled there's no expectation of privacy for an outdoor trash can. In fact, law enforcement personnel have no particular privilege here -- anyone can take something from your outdoor trash can (although if it's not at the curb, but on your grounds, a trespassing charge might stick).

1. 3
   5
2. 10
   There is no legal standard.

In court, a defense attorney might try to challenge a client's confession on the grounds that he or she was kept in interrogation room so long it was coercive. However, there's no controlling legal standard -- and if a suspect simply refuses to answer questions, and sticks to that resolve, an interrogation will come to an end pretty quickly.

1. Evidence is in plain view (like through a window).
   Evidence is at imminent risk of being destroyed.
   The property owner has already been arrested.
2. All of these
   None of these

All of the circumstances listed give officers reason to search without a warrant. If drugs are clearly visible through a car window, if fire threatens a suspect's property, if the home's or car's owner has been arrested ... these are all examples. Also, if a suspect consents, officers are allowed to conduct a search.

1. Abraham Lincoln
   Ulysses S. Grant
2. Theodore Roosevelt
   Harry S Truman

Roosevelt had a storied history as an outdoorsman, Rough Rider, police commissioner, and finally, U.S. president. A few historical mystery novelists have made Commissioner Roosevelt a character in their books.
