This particular section of the exam measures your ability to problem solve, and work independently as you encounter varies situations.
Let's look at an example scenario question that you might see on the police entrance exam below. Now when you read the information provided below, use good judgment and common sense to come up with the right course of action.
Police Exam Scenario Question:
1. Officer Young was just dispatched to the intersection of Monroe and Main in reference to a domestic dispute between a husband and a wife. Upon arrival, Officer Young noticed another Officer who is already on scene engaged in a fight with the male half. Officer Young run to assist the other Officer, but was confronted by an angry wife who took a swipe at him with a baseball bat. What should he do next?
A. The officer should dodge each swing, and continue helping the other Officer
B. Officer Young should ignore the wife's advancement because after all she's woman
C. The Officer should deploy his baton to the non-kill zone of the wife's body until she drops the weapon
D. The officer should disengage the situation and wait for backup
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Officer Young's next course of action is to retrieve his departmental baton, and strike the combative suspect in the approved target area until she drops the baseball bat. You see a police officer is trained to control any suspect who pose immediate risk of bodily injury to self or others.
In this case the aggressive actions of the wife suggest that she wanted to cause bodily injury to Officer Young. The Officer's next course of action should be to strike the wife immediately until she surrenders the weapon. His course of action does not change just because the suspect is a woman.
