Question 1
Which statement contrasts UCR and NIBRS data collection methods?
Correct Answer:
UCR provides summary data; NIBRS collects detailed incident-based data with multiple offense codes per incident.
Explanation:
The main concept here is how the data collection approaches differ: UCR uses summary counts, while NIBRS collects detailed incident-level data with multiple offense codes per incident. UCR reports annual totals for each offense category, giving a broad snapshot without tying offenses to specific incidents or providing many contextual fields. NIBRS, on the other hand, records each incident in detail and can include several offenses within that single incident, each with its own code and richer contextual information (like weapon used, location, and offender details). This contrast is exactly what the statement conveys: UCR provides summary data, and NIBRS collects detailed incident-based data with multiple offense codes per incident. For example, a single event with several offenses would be captured as multiple offense codes within one incident in NIBRS, whereas UCR would tally those offenses in broad categories without linking them to one incident.
Question 2
What does code 35 stand for?
Correct Answer:
Alarm call
Explanation:
Code 35 designates an alarm call, meaning dispatch is responding to an alarm activation at a location and officers are sent to verify whether it’s a legitimate alarm or a false alarm. This type of call focuses on alarm systems—burglar, fire, panic, or similar signals—so the officers’ primary task is to check the scene and ensure safety. It’s different from a welfare check, which is about confirming someone’s well-being; from an affray in progress, which signals an ongoing fight; and from a nature call, which would refer to a different, non-alarm incident. In this test’s coding scheme, alarm call is the assigned code 35, making it the best match.
Question 3
What does code 10-28 Check registration & DL mean?
Correct Answer:
Check registration & DL
Explanation:
This code is used to verify a vehicle's registration and the driver's license status. It signals that an officer or dispatcher wants to pull DMV records to confirm the vehicle is properly registered and that the driver’s license is valid and current. This helps ensure the vehicle is legally operable and the driver is properly licensed, and it can reveal issues like expired registration or a suspended license. The other ideas (such as contacting someone, checking for warrants, or looking for wants and warrants) are governed by different codes, whereas this one is specifically about registration and license verification.
Question 4
Which code corresponds to requesting a phone number?
Correct Answer:
Phone Number
Explanation:
When you need to obtain contact details, you use a phrase that directly asks for the information you want. The phrase "Phone Number" is used to request a contact number. It’s the best fit because it clearly signals the needed information and avoids confusion with other tasks like reporting a location, arranging a meeting, or changing the channel. "On Scene" communicates your current location or status, which isn’t about getting contact details. "Meet Me" is about arranging to connect at a certain time or place, not about sharing a phone number. "Switch to Channel" means changing the communications channel, which is unrelated to requesting a phone number.
Question 5
Which code corresponds to Assault?
Correct Answer:
Code 4 Assault
Explanation:
These practice items test your ability to match a DASO 10-Code with the offense it represents. Assault is a violent crime, so the correct choice is the option that explicitly describes Assault, because that choice is the one mapped to the Assault designation in this code set. The other options describe different offenses—Forgery, Burglary, and Narcotics—so they do not correspond to Assault.
