While all of the answers have some kind of truth to them, the last answer is the only one that is fully true. A government vehicle may not be used for personal business only. The employee has to be doing government business at the same time, otherwise it is restricted.

Both "I" and "me" are first-person singular pronouns. "I" is the subject pronoun, which means they are the one doing the action. "Me" is the object pronoun, which means they are the object of the action. That would mean "Agent Smith and I" is the correct response.

Even though the councilman is a public figure, that does not put him in a different light. He appears to be breaking the law, and you are hired to enforce that law.

The word spelled incorrectly is "conscous." The correct spelling is "conscious," as the "i" is often overlooked in this word. Being able to communicate clearly in writing is an important element of police work, and that includes spelling.

Miranda v. Arizona was ruled by the Supreme Court in 1966 and involved a migrant farm worker accused of rape. As we all know and have seen, the Miranda warnings must be read by cops now. The Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination requires law enforcement officials to advise a suspect interrogated in custody of their rights to remain silent and to obtain an attorney, at no charge if need be.

The tricky part in this question is that the first three stolen items are listed at a price per item. The final stolen item gives us a total price of all the toasters. The total for each item would be $600 for Instant Pots, $510 for 42" televisions, $600 for 32" televisions and $400 for the toasters, which would all add up to $2,110.

The speed limit is posted at 35 miles per hour. The driver of the truck was going 58, which means they were driving 23 miles over the speed limit.

You never know when those basic algebra skills will be needed when doing police work. For this one, you would add the numbers in the parentheses first. That gives you a total of 63, which then is divided by 7. That gives you the answer of 9.

Whether you parked in the spot for two minutes or two days, you still violated the no parking zone law. A ticket was issued, so now you must respond to that ticket or the repercussions will be even worse.

Cops are not allowed to accept any kind of reward or tip while on duty. Stopping a bank robber is a normal job duty for a police offer, so no reward can be accepted.

Timing is very important, especially when it comes to criminal cases. Because of that, military time helps keep everything in order, with no confusion about if it was 3:00 in the morning or in the afternoon, since it would be 1500 hours if in the afternoon.

The definition of proof is evidence or an argument to establish that a statement is true or that something actually happened. It's right in the definition, so "evidence" has to be the right answer.

Since the victim was gone during this time, there is only one time they could have discovered the robbery. They arrived home on 12/16 at 10:00 p.m., which is when they discovered their house had been robbed.

Chad has a $500,000 bond. He needs to pay 10% of that $500,000 in cash to get out. So, 10% of $500,000 would be $50,000. A bond or bail is a set amount of money that must be paid to secure your release from jail, as a security that you'll appear in court. If you don't show up, you forfeit the money you paid.

You have 11 pounds of heroin. You know the cost of heroin is measured in kilograms. There are 2.2 pounds in one kilogram, so you divide 11 by the 2.2 to get 5 total kilograms. You then multiply the 5 by the cost per kilogram, which is $95,000, and that gives you $475,000.

Multiplication is needed to solve this question. Officer Stafford attends 3 schools every week. He goes to these schools 35 weeks out of the year, so we multiply 3 by 35 to get 105.

The definition of larceny is the theft of personal property. That means "theft" would be the word with the most similar meaning as larceny. While the dictionary definition is similar, in some states, theft and larceny are legally considered different crimes.

Sexual harassment is a hot-button issue right now. That means you should be able to spell it! There are two "s's" in the word, but only one "r." In the U.S., sexual harassment is legally considered a form of sex discrimination, which is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

There are 12 inches in a foot. We had 5 feet, so you multiply that by 12 to get 60 inches. Then you add in the remaining 5 inches, so it is a total of 65 inches.

To start, the car is driving 60 miles per hour, which means it is going 1 mile every minute. To travel the 35 miles, that means they would need 35 minutes of driving. Add 35 minutes to the start time, and they would arrive home at 3:55 p.m.

The FTO is not allowed to just take a case of soda or anything else from the store. You will want to report this situation to the officer's supervisor and let them handle it.

While the other three answers can all make for dangerous driving conditions, they are not anything out of the norm for the road. A broken water main is a special circumstance and should be highlighted for drivers to know about.

"Indict" is a word that many people spell wrong. Since it sounds like "indite," people often spell it that way. However, the proper spelling here would be "indicted." If someone's been indicted, it means they've been formally accused of committing a crime.

The vehicle gets 340 miles for a full tank, and the tank is currently one-quarter (or one fourth) full. You would need to divide 340 by 4 to break it down into quarters. 340 divided by 4 is 85 miles, which is how far you can go before running out of gas.

The thesis paper is 2,100 pages long and Seth needs three copies printed, so he needs a total of 6,300 pages printed. Since the printer prints 6 pages per minute, that means it would take 1,050 minutes (that's 6,300 divided by 6) to print all 6,300 pages.

Secretary can be a tricky word to spell. However, it is an "a" towards the end and not an "e" like in the question.

The officer was asked to hand out a total of 35 radios. If the radios need to be distributed between 7 different squads, that means each squad would received 5 radios (35 divided by 7 is 5).

The definition of "thwart" is to stop somebody from doing something. The definition of "hinder" is to create an obstruction or difficulty to delay someone or something. Very similar definitions, so that's why "hinder" is the right answer.

Unless these teens were habitual offenders, the best option would be to bring them to the station and notify their parents. The parents would come pick up their children and everyone would be issued a warning, which would increase to fines and even possible jail time if the violations continued.

To get this answer, you would add together all of the citations handed out in November, which is a total of 428. Since 4 officers handed out those tickets, you would divide the total by 4 to get an average. That gives you the answer of 107.

The total cost of the vases stolen was $1,020. There were 34 vases stolen, so you would divide $1,020 by 34, and that would give you an average cost of $30 per vase.

The bus station and bar are just busy, but not a dangerous situation. Since the accident is only minor, it is not a dangerous situation. However, a gas leak in a building is dangerous, and everyone would need to evacuate the building.

For this one, the final answer is the exact match. The first answer changed the y's to z's in the middle. The second answer ended with a 2 and not a 3. The third one is missing the exclamation point in the third spot. Having a close attention to detail is an important skill for police officers.
