In order to justify turning off your radio during your tour of duty, all of the above criteria must be met. This means that unusual circumstances must exist, approval must be obtained from a supervisor, and the dispatcher must be notified (in court and beat meetings). Meeting all of these criteria ensures that there is a valid reason for turning off the radio and that proper communication channels are followed.

The section that is not a part of the Bureau of Detectives is the Narcotics section. The other options, Investigative Support Section, Special Investigative Group, and Bureau of Detectives Areas, are all sections that are part of the Bureau of Detectives.

In reportable use of force incidents, each sworn member who uses force will complete a TRR for a single incident. This means that if multiple officers are involved in a use of force incident, each officer will need to fill out a separate TRR form. This ensures that all details and perspectives of the incident are accurately recorded and documented.

In any instance where a member has discharged a firearm outside the City of Chicago, the member will notify the local police agency and the CPD's CPIC. CPIC stands for the Chicago Police Department's Crime Prevention and Information Center. This is the correct answer because CPIC is responsible for collecting and analyzing crime data, providing support to officers in the field, and coordinating with other law enforcement agencies. It makes sense that the member would notify CPIC in order to ensure that the incident is properly documented and that any necessary actions are taken.

An active pursuit will involve no more than a primary and one secondary pursuit unit unless authorized by a supervisor. This means that during a pursuit, there can be a primary unit (the main unit leading the chase) and one secondary unit (a backup unit), but no more than that, unless a supervisor gives authorization. The answer "c. secondary" aligns with this explanation.

The correct answer is d. All of the above. This means that the officer initiating the pursuit will notify the OEMC dispatcher of the pursuit and provide all of the following information: the radio-call ID # and the reason for the pursuit, the location, speed, direction of travel, and # of occupants, and the vehicle description including the license plate #.

Whenever practical, TIGN arrestees will be transported alone in a passenger vehicle, van cell, or squadrol compartment. This means that when it is feasible and possible, TIGN arrestees will be transported without any other individuals in the same vehicle or compartment.

It helps to minimize the risk of any altercations or incidents during the transportation process.

The given answer "All of the above" is correct because it includes all the mentioned signs and indicators of an older adult at risk. Unusual activity in bank accounts can indicate financial exploitation or scams targeting older adults. Old and new bruising suggests repeated injury, which may be a sign of physical abuse. Unsafe conditions in the home, including hoarding, can pose a risk to the older adult's safety and well-being. Therefore, all these signs should be taken into consideration when assessing the risk faced by an older adult.

When communicating an on-view incident via radio, it is crucial to immediately notify the dispatcher of the type of incident and the address of the incident. This information is essential for the dispatcher to accurately assess the situation and dispatch the appropriate resources to the location. By providing the type of incident, such as a burglary or assault, and the address, the dispatcher can quickly relay this information to responding units, ensuring a timely and effective response.

Members will exercise persuasion, advice, and warning prior to the use of physical force. This means that they will try to convince or influence others, provide guidance or counsel, and issue a warning before resorting to physical force. By giving a warning, they give the other person a chance to reconsider their actions and avoid the need for physical force.

The Department Directives System serves as the official repository for the Department directives and provides access to the current, official copies. This system is specifically designed for this purpose and ensures that all department directives are stored and accessible in one central location. The Automated Incident Report Application and CLEAR System may serve other purposes within the department, but they are not the official repositories for directives. Therefore, the correct answer is The Department Directives System.

An officer who initially discovers any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an older adult must report the offense to the Illinois Department on Aging Elder Abuse Hotline before the end of his tour of duty.

There is a specific time limit for reporting the offense, and it must be done before the officer's shift ends.

During a public gathering investigation, information is collected and documented for analysis and future reference.

Members conducting a First Amendment-related information gathering investigation will submit reports detailing the progress of the investigation at 30-day intervals or at shorter intervals as directed by the exempt commanding officer.

This format allows for clear communication and organization of the information being reported.

The correct answer is c. Alternate Response Section. This section within the OEMC is responsible for processing specific, designated non-emergency calls and requests for service.

When receiving their assignment by voice radio and, if equipped, via PDT, a Department member's responsibility is to clear the assignment via both the PDT and voice radio. This means that they need to acknowledge and confirm their understanding of the assignment using both communication methods. This ensures that there is no miscommunication or confusion regarding the assignment and allows for proper coordination and tracking of resources.

Graham v Connor is the correct answer because this Supreme Court case established the standard for evaluating the use of force by law enforcement officers. The case determined that the central question in every use of force incident is whether the amount of force used by the officer was objectively reasonable based on the circumstances faced by the officer at the time. This ruling set forth the "objective reasonableness" standard, which is now widely used to assess the constitutionality of police use of force.
