Q21Read: 'Officers attended a residential address following a 911 call from a neighbour who reported hearing a loud argument. Upon arrival, both residents denied any dispute had occurred. There were no visible injuries and no property damage was observed. Both parties were calm at the time of the officers' arrival.' — What should the officers do regarding documentation?
✓ Correct answer: B. Document the attendance and observations in an occurrence report

Q29A 911 call is received at 14:23. Officers arrive at 14:38. How long did it take officers to respond?
✓ Correct answer: C. 15 minutes
14:38 − 14:23 = 15 minutes response time.
Q30A police report logs 5 incidents on Monday, 8 on Tuesday, and 3 on Wednesday. The supervisor requests reports for days with more than 4 incidents. Which days must reports be submitted?
✓ Correct answer: C. Monday and Tuesday... no, only Tuesday
Only Tuesday (8 incidents) exceeds 4. Monday has 5, but wait — 5 > 4, so Monday and Tuesday both qualify. Actually Monday (5) > 4 and Tuesday (8) > 4. The answer is Monday and Tuesday.
