The police written exam is given early on during the hiring process for a reason. It’s designed to eliminate those applicants that won’t cut it before moving on to the more costly aspects of the hiring process. The last thing a police department want to do is spend thousands of dollars training you, then later find out that you can’t even read. To put it simple the police written exam is a cheap way to eliminate a a lot of applicants before spending money on more expensive things like the polygraph exam and the psychological test.

The police exam itself can be tough if you are unprepared, but if you use good judgment and a little bit of common sense as you read through each exam question, you should be fine. To hep you think like a cop, I’ve written a scenario question below. As I mentioned earlier use good judgment to answer the question correctly.

Practice Scenario Question#1:

Officer Taylor respond to a large fight in progress at the local night club called Dance Hall 101. Upon his arrival other officers arrive at the scene as well. Officer Taylor wants to use his chemical spray to disperse the crowd. What should he do next before using his pepper spray.

A. Inform other officer near by that he is about to deploy his pepper spray.

B. Loudly warn the crowd to disperse before he activate his spray.

c. Give first aid to anyone that get overcome as a result of the spray

D. Don’t say anything just start spraying

Explanation

The answer is both A and B. Before you deploy your pepper spray, you need to give the crowd enough time to respond to your verbal commands. If they don’t, you move to step 2, which is to let fellow officers know that you are about to activate your spray. By letting other officers know what you are about to do allows them time to turn away as you deploy the spray into the crowd. You see sometimes the spray can accidentally get on other officers if they are not warned before hand.
