Question 1
Rule: Dispatch a Patrol unit for any report of a crime already completed with no injuries and no suspect on scene. Dispatch an Emergency Service Unit only when a person is trapped or a weapon is confirmed. A caller reports a bicycle stolen two hours ago; the thief is gone and no one is hurt. Which unit type should be dispatched under the rule?
Correct Answer:
Patrol unit
Question 2
Rule: If a caller reports an active assault with a weapon, mark the job Priority 1. If the assault has ended and the suspect fled more than 10 minutes ago, mark Priority 2. A caller says a man with a knife finished attacking someone and ran west about 15 minutes ago. What priority does the rule require?
Correct Answer:
Priority 2
Question 3
Rule: Transfer a medical-only call to EMS after confirming location and chief complaint. Keep a police unit only if a crime, traffic crash, or public-safety hazard is also reported. A caller states chest pain only, gives a full address, and denies any crime or crash. What does the rule require?
Correct Answer:
Transfer to EMS after location and chief complaint are confirmed; do not keep a police unit solely for medical care
Question 4
Rule: When two conflicting addresses are given, re-verify with the caller and use Automatic Location Identification (ALI) only as a backup if the caller cannot clarify. A caller first says 214 West 45th Street, then says 241 West 45th Street, and is still on the line. What is the correct next action under the rule?
Correct Answer:
Re-verify the address with the caller before relying only on ALI
Question 5
Rule: Broadcast a vehicle description only after you have color, body style, and either plate or unique damage. A caller reports a red four-door sedan with a large dent on the rear bumper but no plate. May you broadcast under the rule?
Correct Answer:
Yes, because color, body style, and unique damage are present
