What distinction is made by the author of the ETHICS reading about "police ethics" versus ethics?
- Breaking the law and being unethical are synonymous
- Police ethics have a higher standard
- Police ethics refer to on-duty; ethics refer to off-duty
- There is no such thing as police ethics
Correct Answer

A. There is no such thing as police ethics

Explanation

The author of the ETHICS reading does not believe that there is a separate category of ethics specifically for the police. This suggests that the author views ethics as a universal concept that applies to all individuals, regardless of their profession or role. The idea of "police ethics" having a higher standard or being limited to on-duty situations is not supported by the author's perspective.

Which of the following should influence a police officers decision to lay charges in a domestic violence occurrence?
- Verbal assurances by either party that violence will cease
- Likelihood of obtaining a conviction in court
- Denial by either party that the violence occurred
- Reasonable grounds formed as a result of the evidence at the scene
Correct Answer

A. Reasonable grounds formed as a result of the evidence at the scene

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. Verbal assurances, the likelihood of obtaining a conviction, and denials by either party are not sufficient factors to determine whether charges should be laid. The evidence at the scene provides the necessary basis for a police officer to take appropriate action.

An auxiliary officer is assigned to accompany a constable on foot patrol in the downtown area. In the course of his duties, the auxiliary officer suffers a sprained ankle that requires medical attention. In accordance with the WORKPLACE SAFETY & INSURANCE ACT, a police service should
- Take no action. The auxiliary officer is not an employee of the police service
- Suspend the auxiliary officer until fit for duty
- Provide transportation to the hospital and notify WSIB of the accident
- Notify WSIB within 30 days of the accident
Correct Answer

This is because the act covers workplace injuries and requires employers to report such incidents to the WSIB. The auxiliary officer may not be an employee of the police service, but they are still entitled to receive medical attention and have the incident reported to the appropriate authorities.

You pull over a driver with 6 sealed bottles of beer in a beer case. There is no offence by the driver.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

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.

- Provided there is no intent to offend, there is no offence
- This behaviour constitutes harassment
- Most people who are offended will voice their displeasure
- You should not have to worry about overly sensitive people
Correct Answer

A. This behaviour constitutes harassment

Explanation

The correct answer is "This behavior constitutes harassment." Making gay jokes in the workplace can create a hostile and discriminatory environment for LGBTQ+ individuals. It goes against the principles of inclusivity and respect in the workplace. Harassment can occur even if there is no intent to offend, as the impact on others is what matters. It is important to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and valued.

- Secure public support
- Take a problem solving approach to crime
Correct Answer

This means that they focus not only on reacting to crime but also on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that contribute to crime in the community. By working collaboratively with other departments, the police can gather information, analyze patterns, and develop strategies to prevent and reduce crime. Additionally, by securing public support, the police can build trust and cooperation within the community, which is essential for effective crime prevention and solving.

A. Community policing is a strategy that involves partnering with the community

Explanation

Community policing is a strategy that involves partnering with the community. This means that community policing is not a replacement for traditional policing, but rather a complementary approach that emphasizes collaboration between law enforcement and the community. It recognizes that the community plays a crucial role in preventing and solving crimes, and encourages active participation and engagement from community members. By working together, law enforcement and the community can develop trust, address community concerns, and create safer neighborhoods.

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?
- Involving police officer planning and implementing programs
- Consulting with only senior members in the development of policies and practices
- Developing relevant criteria for performance evaluation
- Providing the training and skills to do the job
Correct Answer

A. Consulting with only senior members in the development of policies and practices

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.

What are the 3 R's of Traditional Patrol Practice?
- Random patrol, rapid response, and reactive investigation
- Random patrol, reconnaissance and recovery
- Rapid response, rescue and relief
- Random patrol, reactive call delivery and response investigation
Correct Answer

A. Random patrol, rapid response, and reactive investigation

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.

Explanation

The recommended course of action is to investigate further for criminal harassment.

The correct answer is "Pointing a firearm." Pointing a firearm at another person is a serious offense as it poses a threat to their safety and can cause fear and distress.

You stop a vehicle and smell alcohol on the drivers breath:
- Give an ASD
- Arrest for impaired
- Investigate under LLA
- If she doesn't look drunk let her go
Correct Answer

A. Give an ASD

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

In this scenario, the correct answer is to seize the large quantity of cash as offence related property. When executing a search warrant, if a significant amount of cash is found, it can be considered as potential evidence of illegal activities or proceeds from criminal activities. Therefore, it should be seized as offence related property to further investigate its origin and potential involvement in criminal activities.

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. The police have a duty to protect the victim and ensure her safety. By arresting the son and charging him with assault, the police can hold him accountable for his actions and potentially prevent future harm to the widow.

- The offence has not been committed until the subject meets the victim
- The male has committed the offence of luring
- There is no offence as the female is more than 12 years of age
- Until a meeting time and place is established, there is no offence
Correct Answer

A. The male has committed the offence of luring

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.

According to COMMUNITY BASED STRATEGIC POLICING IN CANADA, which of the following statements with respect to officers resistance to community policing is correct?
- Only officer who support community - policing principles should work in this field
- Resistance is more prevalent in larger police services
- Resistance is due solely to the lack of time to do community policing
- Shifting from law enforcement to service delivery is challenging for most officers
Correct Answer

A. Shifting from law enforcement to service delivery is challenging for most officers

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.

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?
- Yes you can act on their behalf
- Yes, if there is a representative of the HRC present
- Only if your supervisor is also present and authorizes you
- NO, the person named in the warrant must be present
Correct Answer

A. NO, the person named in the warrant must be present

Explanation

In order to execute a Human Rights Code warrant, the person who is named and authorized in the warrant must be present. This means that without their presence, the warrant cannot be acted upon. The other options mentioned, such as having a representative of the Human Rights Commission present or being authorized by a supervisor, do not override the requirement for the named person to be present. Therefore, the correct answer is that the person named in the warrant must be present.

A police officer observes a motor vehicle fail to stop at a stop sign in a shopping plaza parking lot. A subsequent CPIC check reveals the driver is prohibited from driving a motor vehicle following a criminal code conviction. What if any is the most appropriate charge?
- Drive while under suspension
- Operate motor vehicle while disqualified
- Disobey stop sign
- NO offence
Correct Answer

A. Operate motor vehicle while disqualified

Explanation

The most appropriate charge in this scenario is "Operate motor vehicle while disqualified." This is because the driver is prohibited from driving a motor vehicle following a criminal code conviction, indicating that they are disqualified from driving. The fact that they failed to stop at a stop sign in a shopping plaza parking lot is secondary to the main offense of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified.

- Problem identification, analysis, response, evaluation
- Probing, analysis, response, evaluation
- Probing, assessment, reports, evaluation
- Problem Identification, analysis, response and response investigation
Correct Answer

A. Problem identification, analysis, response, evaluation

Explanation

The PARE model consists of four components: problem identification, analysis, response, and evaluation. These components represent the steps involved in addressing and resolving a problem. First, the problem needs to be identified and clearly defined. Then, a thorough analysis of the problem is conducted to understand its root causes and potential solutions. Based on the analysis, an appropriate response is formulated and implemented. Finally, the effectiveness of the response is evaluated to determine if the problem has been adequately addressed. This systematic approach ensures that problems are properly identified, analyzed, and resolved.

- A leadership neutralizer
- Cross-cultural leadership
- Leading without authority
- Management by exception (Active)

- Allow another person to drive the car away
- Impound car for 7 days at the expense of the owner
- Impound car for 30 days at the expense of the owner
- Park the car off the highway
Correct Answer

A. Impound car for 7 days at the expense of the owner

Explanation

If a male is found driving a car without an interlock device, which is against the condition on his license, the appropriate action would be to impound the car for 7 days at the expense of the owner. This is a consequence for violating the license condition and serves as a deterrent for future non-compliance. By impounding the car, it ensures that the driver cannot continue to use the vehicle in violation of the license condition.

Correct Answer

A. Do not release the accused until a bail hearing

Explanation

The correct answer is "Do not release the accused until a bail hearing." The officer in charge should ensure that all the following are implemented except this option because the accused's release should not be dependent on a bail hearing in this case. Since the crime is a hate-motivated offense, the accused should be held without bail to ensure the safety of the victim and the community.

Gang related activity typically instills fear throughout a community, thereby preventing potential witnesses from coming forward. This situation demonstrates the need for police to:
- Develop open lines of communication with community members
- Make community members accountable for their actions and inactions
- Promote the use of Crime Stoppers
- Seed adequate funding to address crime
Correct Answer

A. Develop open lines of communication with community members

Explanation

The correct answer is to develop open lines of communication with community members. This is because gang-related activity often creates fear within a community, which can discourage potential witnesses from coming forward. By developing open lines of communication, the police can build trust and rapport with community members, making them more likely to share information and cooperate in solving crimes. This approach can help to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community, ultimately leading to a safer and more secure environment for everyone.

As a subculture, police officers tend to socialize with other officers and isolate from family and friends. According to Community based strategic policing in Canada, in which of the following assignments is this behaviour most likely to be reduced?
- School Liaison Officer
- Professional Standards
- Intelligence Unit
- General Patrol
Correct Answer

A. School Liaison Officer

Explanation

Police officers tend to socialize with other officers and isolate from family and friends as a subculture. 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. By being actively involved in the community and establishing connections outside of the police subculture, the School Liaison Officer assignment can help reduce the tendency to isolate from family and friends.

A good business plan or strategic plan can provide a police service with a number of benefits, including all of the following EXCEPT:
- A basis for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational practices
- A barometer of the health of the organization
- Focus for the organizational framework that determines organizational needs and practices
- A long term perspective
Correct Answer

A. A barometer of the health of the organization

Explanation

A good business plan or strategic plan can provide a police service with a basis for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational practices, a focus for the organizational framework that determines organizational needs and practices, and a long-term perspective. However, it may not necessarily act as a barometer of the health of the organization. The health of an organization is often measured by other factors such as employee satisfaction, financial stability, and overall performance, which may not be directly addressed or evaluated through a business or strategic plan.
