  1. During a medical emergency, a victim is unresponsive and not breathing normally. What is the correct sequence to begin CPR?

    Answer: Call for help, then start chest compressions at 100-120 per minute

    Current CPR guidelines call for activating emergency services first, then beginning chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute.

  2. A fire breaks out in a storage room. The security officer's FIRST priority should be:

    Answer: Activate the fire alarm and notify occupants

    Life safety takes priority — activating the alarm and alerting occupants ensures the greatest number of people can evacuate safely.

  3. Which triage color tag indicates a victim who is deceased or has injuries incompatible with survival?

    Answer: Black

    In the START triage system, black tags are assigned to victims who are deceased or whose injuries are so severe that survival is unlikely.

  4. A hazardous material spill occurs at the facility entrance. The officer's immediate action should be to:

    Answer: Evacuate the immediate area and establish a safety perimeter

    Officers must prioritize personal safety and public protection by evacuating the area and establishing a perimeter until qualified hazmat personnel arrive.

  5. When communicating during an emergency, what radio practice helps ensure the message was received correctly?

    Answer: Asking the recipient to repeat the message back

    Read-back confirmation (asking the recipient to repeat critical information) verifies the message was received and understood accurately.

  6. An officer discovers an unconscious person with a suspected spinal injury. The officer should:

    Answer: Stabilize the head and neck and await EMS

    Suspected spinal injuries require immobilization of the head and neck; unnecessary movement can cause permanent paralysis.

  7. During a bomb threat call, which information is MOST critical for the officer to document?

    Answer: Exact words used, time of call, and any background noises

    Documenting exact words, call time, and background noises provides investigators the most actionable intelligence to assess threat credibility.
