  1. All felony arrests require fingerprinting. Marcus was arrested for grand theft, which is a felony. What must follow?

    Answer: Marcus must be fingerprinted

    Since grand theft is a felony and all felony arrests require fingerprinting, Marcus must be fingerprinted.

  2. No officer under probation may carry a firearm off-duty. Officer Chen is under probation. Which conclusion is valid?

    Answer: Officer Chen cannot carry a firearm off-duty

    The rule contains no exceptions, so Officer Chen cannot carry a firearm off-duty while on probation.

  3. Whenever a suspect flees on foot, officers must radio dispatch before pursuing. Officer Rivera spots a fleeing suspect and radios dispatch. What can be deduced?

    Answer: Officer Rivera has satisfied the precondition for pursuit

    Radioing dispatch is the required precondition; satisfying it means Rivera has met the requirement but no rule compels the pursuit itself.

  4. All vehicles traveling over 90 mph on the highway are subject to immediate stop. A vehicle is clocked at 88 mph. What follows?

    Answer: The vehicle is not subject to immediate stop under this rule

    88 mph does not meet the threshold of over 90 mph, so the rule does not apply.

  5. If a witness recants a sworn statement, the original statement becomes inadmissible. Witness Gomez recanted her sworn statement. What is the logical conclusion?

    Answer: Gomez's original statement is inadmissible

    The condition (recanting a sworn statement) is met, so the consequence (inadmissibility) follows directly.

  6. Some patrol officers work night shifts. All night shift workers receive a shift differential. Officer Park is a patrol officer. What can be concluded?

    Answer: Officer Park may or may not receive a shift differential

    Because only some patrol officers work nights, it cannot be determined whether Park works nights or receives the differential.

  7. Detectives who solve more than 10 cases per quarter earn a commendation. Detective Okafor solved 11 cases last quarter. What must be true?

    Answer: Detective Okafor earns a commendation

    11 cases exceeds the threshold of more than 10, so the rule grants Okafor a commendation.
