  1. A police sergeant earns $62,400 per year. What is the sergeant's gross monthly salary?

    Answer: $5,200

    Annual salary divided by 12 months = $62,400 / 12 = $5,200 per month.

  2. At a DUI checkpoint, officers screened 180 vehicles in 3 hours. What was the average number of vehicles screened per hour?

    Answer: 60

    180 vehicles divided by 3 hours = 60 vehicles per hour.

  3. A crime scene is rectangular and measures 15 feet by 20 feet. What is the total area of the crime scene?

    Answer: 300 square feet

    Area of a rectangle = length x width = 15 x 20 = 300 square feet.

  4. An officer issues 8 traffic citations on Monday, 5 on Tuesday, 12 on Wednesday, 7 on Thursday, and 6 on Friday. What is the average number of citations per day?

    Answer: 7.6

    Total citations = 8+5+12+7+6 = 38. Average = 38 / 5 days = 7.6 citations per day.

  5. A suspect fled on foot and traveled 0.75 miles before being apprehended. An officer ran the same route at 6 miles per hour. How many minutes did it take the officer to cover that distance?

    Answer: 7.5 minutes

    Time = Distance / Speed = 0.75 / 6 = 0.125 hours. 0.125 x 60 = 7.5 minutes.

  6. A police budget allocates 55% to salaries, 20% to equipment, 15% to training, and the remainder to community programs. If the total budget is $2,000,000, how much goes to community programs?

    Answer: $200,000

    55+20+15 = 90%. Remainder = 10%. 10% of $2,000,000 = $200,000.
