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 sceneExplanation
In determining whether to lay charges in a domestic violence occurrence, a police officer should be influenced by reasonable grounds formed as a result of the evidence at the scene. This means that the decision should be based on objective evidence and facts that suggest the occurrence of violence. Verbal assurances by either party, likelihood of obtaining a conviction in court, and denial by either party are not sufficient factors to solely rely on in making this decision. It is important to consider the actual evidence at the scene to ensure a fair and accurate judgment.Rate this question:

In response to a shortage of white-male applicants
-
To meet legislative hiring quotas
-
To pacify activist groups in their community
-
To reflect the diversity of their communities
Correct Answer
A. To reflect the diversity of their communitiesExplanation
Police services that actively recruit women, visible and cultural minorities are doing so primarily to reflect the diversity of their communities. By actively seeking out individuals from different backgrounds, police services aim to have a police force that is representative of the diverse population they serve. This helps to build trust and improve community relations, as people are more likely to feel understood and supported when they see officers who share their cultural or gender identity. Additionally, a diverse police force can bring different perspectives and approaches to problem-solving, leading to more effective and equitable policing.Rate this question:

-
Identify the problem
-
Analyse the problem
-
Prioritize the problem
-
Identify and barriers to solving the problem

Without a clear understanding of the problem, it becomes difficult to analyze, prioritize, and find solutions for it. Therefore, identifying the problem is crucial in order to proceed with the problem-solving process effectively.Rate this question:

While investigating a break and enter at a used car dealership, an officer suggests to the owner that surveillance cameras be installed in the property. This suggestion is good example of:
-
Crime prevention through environmental design
-
Entrance screening
-
Environmental scanning
-
A neighbourhood watch program
Correct Answer
A. Crime prevention through environmental designExplanation
The suggestion to install surveillance cameras in the used car dealership is a good example of crime prevention through environmental design. By implementing this measure, the dealership can deter potential criminals and enhance security on the property. Surveillance cameras act as a deterrent and can provide valuable evidence in case of a break-in or theft. This approach focuses on designing the environment in a way that minimizes opportunities for criminal activity and increases the perception of risk for potential offenders.Rate this question:

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 practicesExplanation
Consulting with only senior members in the development of policies and practices would be the least effective in creating buy-in from officers because it excludes the input and perspectives of the police officers who will actually be implementing these policies and practices. In order to successfully transition to a new model of policing, it is important to involve all levels of officers in the planning and implementation process. This allows for a more inclusive and collaborative approach, which increases the likelihood of officer buy-in and support for the new model.Rate this question:

-
True

-
If she doesn't look drunk let her go
Correct Answer
A. Give an ASDExplanation

-
No charge
-

-
This youth is at risk for criminal activity
-
This youth is abusing alcohol and/or drugs

By understanding the root causes of crime and collaborating with other departments, the police can develop strategies and initiatives to prevent crime from happening in the first place. This approach also involves building strong relationships with the community and securing public support, as community involvement and cooperation are crucial in effectively addressing crime.Rate this question:
