Question 3

Information gathering would be one of the key competencies you should consider in this case. As a police officer you will often be required to take some initiative as well, and detectives will often appreciate this. Ignoring the detective's order is obviously incorrect.

Question 4

Before taking a major step in an investigation, it would be a good idea to speak to the officer in charge. Organizational awareness would be the key competency to be aware of here.

Question 5

Organizational awareness would come into play here. Disregarding the detective's order to perform a photo line-up is inappropriate. Although you could hand the investigation over to the detective's office, working as a police officer requires teamwork. Continuing to assist in the investigation is the best choice.

Question 6

The first priority is protection of life. A crime has also been alleged and there is evidence that the male is telling the truth. The female would need to be arrested.

Question 7

Concern for safety and information gathering would be competencies to consider in this situation. A house fire could pose a serious threat to life and the unusual situation should be investigated. Ignoring the situation would be the last choice to make.

Question 8

Safety of the people in the bank and yourself is the most important concern as a police officer. Attempting to prevent the robbery could pose an incredible danger, especially while you are off duty. Action must be taken however, and as a professional police officer, you should be attaining the best descriptions possible.

Question 9

All of the other scenarios are describing crimes in process or events that may place people's lives in danger. This event has already transpired and the situation is under control. You just have to go in and process the paperwork.

Question 10

Confronting Bill or talking to co-workers claiming Bill may be the thief would be negative responses and cause problems with moral, but making a criminal allegation without evidence or proof to support your claim will also cause the same problems and may also lead to issues with your own career. At this stage, doing nothing is the best option.

Question 11

Question 12

Discontinuing CPR shouldn't occur. Getting John away from the danger is extremely important. Offering to relieve him takes care of both issues. Simply getting gloves fails to alert John to the danger he is facing.

Question 13

You have to attempt to continue saving the victim's life. Simply discontinuing CPR would be the worst course of action. All other options attempt to continue saving the victim's life, while in some way addressing the safety issues. John should be notified immediately about the danger though.
