Explanation

The author of the ETHICS reading does not believe that there is a separate category of ethics specifically for the police.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Reasonable grounds formed as a result of the evidence at the scene." This means that a police officer should base their decision to lay charges on the evidence they find at the scene of the domestic violence occurrence.

The evidence at the scene provides the necessary basis for a police officer to take appropriate action.

Explanation

The fact that the driver has 6 sealed bottles of beer in a beer case does not necessarily indicate an offense. It is possible that the driver is transporting the beer for legal purposes, such as bringing it to a party or delivering it to a friend. Without any additional information or evidence of wrongdoing, it cannot be concluded that the driver is committing an offense. Therefore, the statement "There is no offense by the driver" is true.

Explanation

A cultural resource unit within the police service could aid in diffusing interest-based tensions within the gay community and the police. By having a unit dedicated to understanding and engaging with different cultural groups, the police can build trust and improve communication with the gay community. This can help address any misunderstandings or conflicts that may arise, reducing tension and promoting a more peaceful relationship between the police and the community.

18. Your organization is planning to shift from traditional policing methods to a "service delivery" model of policing.  Which of the following would be LEAST effective in creating buy-in from officers?

Explanation

Consulting with only senior members in the development of policies and practices would be least effective in creating buy-in from officers because it excludes the input and perspectives of the frontline officers who will be directly affected by the shift to the service delivery model. In order to gain buy-in and support from officers, it is important to involve them in the planning and implementation of programs, consult with officers at all levels, develop relevant criteria for performance evaluation, and provide the necessary training and skills to effectively carry out their duties in the new model.

Submit
19. What are the 3 R's of Traditional Patrol Practice?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Random patrol, rapid response, and reactive investigation." These three R's are key components of traditional patrol practice. Random patrol refers to the practice of officers patrolling an area without a set pattern or schedule, which helps to deter crime and maintain a visible police presence. Rapid response involves quickly responding to emergency calls or incidents to provide immediate assistance. Reactive investigation refers to the process of investigating crimes after they have occurred, gathering evidence and identifying suspects. These three practices work together to ensure public safety and maintain law and order.

25. You stop a vehicle and smell alcohol on the drivers breath: 

Explanation

The correct answer is to give an ASD (Approved Screening Device) test. This is because smelling alcohol on the driver's breath indicates the possibility of impaired driving due to alcohol consumption. The ASD test is a preliminary screening tool used by law enforcement officers to determine the presence of alcohol in a person's breath. It helps to assess whether the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above the legal limit, which may lead to further actions such as arrest or investigation under impaired driving laws.

Explanation

The correct answer is to arrest the son and charge him with assault. Despite the son's mental capacity, he allegedly choked his mother, which is a criminal act.

Explanation

The correct answer is that the male has committed the offense of luring. This is because the male knowingly engaged in conversation with a 13-year-old female and made a request of a sexual nature. The act of soliciting explicit content from a minor is considered luring, regardless of whether or not a physical meeting has taken place. The age of the female is irrelevant in this case, as the act itself is illegal and constitutes an offense.

Submit
31. According to COMMUNITY BASED STRATEGIC POLICING IN CANADA, which of the following statements with respect to officers resistance to community policing is correct?

Explanation

The correct answer states that shifting from law enforcement to service delivery is challenging for most officers. This means that many officers find it difficult to transition from focusing solely on enforcing laws to providing a broader range of services to the community. This resistance may stem from various factors such as a lack of training or understanding of community policing principles. It suggests that not all officers may be suitable for working in the field of community policing and that additional support and resources may be needed to facilitate this transition.

Submit
32. Can you execute a Human Rights Code warrant if the person from the Human Rights Commission who is named (authorized) in the warrant is not present?

By impounding the car, it ensures that the driver cannot continue to use the vehicle in violation of the license condition.

The School Liaison Officer assignment is most likely to reduce this behavior because it involves working closely with the community, specifically with schools and students. This assignment requires building relationships and interacting with a diverse range of individuals, including students, parents, and school staff.
