Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Block 1 Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT part of the five steps to decision making?

Recognize and ethical issue Get the facts Evaluate alternative actions Plan and implement policies

Correct Answer:

Plan and implement policies

Explanation:

In decision making, you move from noticing an issue to taking action through a clear sequence: first recognize that there is an ethical issue involved, then gather the relevant facts to understand the situation, then identify possible actions you could take, and next evaluate those options by weighing consequences and ethics. The final step is to decide on the best course of action and plan how to implement it. The item about planning and implementing policies goes beyond a single decision and fits more with creating or applying organizational rules. In the five-step decision-making process, the final step focuses on planning and implementing the chosen action itself, not drafting or enforcing policies. That’s why that option isn’t part of the five steps.
