Question 2: A patrol officer notices that vehicle break-ins in her district occur most frequently on Friday and Saturday nights between 10 PM and 2 AM in parking lots near bars. To best prevent future break-ins, she should recommend:

Directing resources to match the established pattern (time, day, location) is the most targeted and effective preventive strategy.
Question 3: Which of the following correctly orders these events from FIRST to LAST based on the passage: 'After the alarm sounded, the dispatcher notified officers. Officers arrived and secured the scene. Detectives were then called. The scene was released after the investigation concluded.'
- Alarm → Detectives called → Officers arrived → Scene released

- Dispatcher notified → Alarm → Officers arrived → Scene released
- Officers arrived → Alarm → Dispatcher notified → Detectives called
Correct answer: Alarm → Dispatcher notified → Officers arrived → Detectives called → Scene released
The passage clearly states the sequence: alarm sounded, dispatcher notified, officers arrived, detectives called, then scene released.
Question 4: An officer traveling north makes a right turn, then another right turn, then a left turn. What direction is the officer now facing?
- North

Correct answer: East
North + right turn = East; East + right turn = South; South + left turn = East — the officer faces East.
