Question 1
Read the following passage and answer the question. **MEMORANDUM** **TO:** All Patrol Division Personnel **FROM:** Captain J. Evans **SUBJECT:** Implementation of Digital Vehicle Logs **DATE:** October 26, 2023 Effective November 1st, the Patrol Division will discontinue the use of paper-based vehicle mileage logs (Form 7B).

Correct Answer:
To improve the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle maintenance scheduling.

Please report any suspicious persons or vehicles in your neighborhood by calling 9-1-1 immediately. What is the primary purpose of this passage?

Question 4

The immediate next step is to fully complete the chain of custody section on the evidence tag (Form 88-B). After the tag is completed, the item must be sealed in an appropriate container. Only after these steps are completed should the officer transport the item to the evidence locker for logging. **Scenario:** An officer collects a firearm at a crime scene and assigns it evidence number 2024-1138.

Correct Answer:
Complete the chain of custody section on the evidence tag.
