,QUESTION 1
What are the 4 Pillars of Procedural Justice?
A) Fairness, Impartiality, Transparency, Voice
B) Fairness, Integrity, Trust, Voice
C) Protection, Impartiality, Transparency, Voice
D) Fairness, Impartiality, Trust, Verification
E) Fairness, Integrity, Trust, Verification
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The 4 Pillars of Procedural Justice are represented by the acronym
FITV - Fairness, Impartiality, Transparency, and Voice. This framework is
fundamental to modern policing as it establishes the foundation for community
trust and legitimacy. Fairness ensures equitable treatment of all individuals
regardless of background. Impartiality requires officers to base decisions on facts
rather than personal biases. Transparency demands that actions and decision-
making processes be open and understandable to the public. Voice guarantees that
individuals have the opportunity to be heard and participate in the process. These
pillars collectively form the bedrock of procedural justice, which research has
demonstrated increases public compliance with the law and cooperation with law
enforcement.
QUESTION 2
What does 720 ILCS encompass?
A) Only municipal code and ordinance violations
B) Criminal Offenses and other laws used in performance of duties, including
cannabis and drug acts, but NOT municipal codes or ordinances
C) Only traffic violations and civil infractions
D) All federal criminal statutes
E) Only juvenile justice codes
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chapter 720 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is the Criminal
,Offenses code. It encompasses not only criminal offenses but also other laws
officers will use in performing their duties. Importantly, it includes the Cannabis
Control Act (720 ILCS 550) and various drug acts. A critical distinction is that 720
ILCS does NOT contain municipal code or ordinance violations, which are
typically found in local municipal codes rather than state statutes. Understanding
this distinction is essential for officers to correctly identify and apply the
appropriate legal authority when encountering different types of violations.
QUESTION 3
Under 5/2-8 of the ILCS, which of the following is NOT a FORCIBLE
FELONY?
A) First degree murder
B) Robbery
C) Burglary
D) Burglary, residential burglary
E) Theft of property valued over $500
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: According to 720 ILCS 5/2-8, forcible felonies include treason, first
degree murder, second degree murder, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child,
aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, robbery, burglary,
residential burglary, aggravated arson, arson, aggravated kidnapping, kidnapping,
aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm or permanent disability or
disfigurement, and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical
force or violence against any individual. Theft of property valued over $500, while
a felony, is NOT classified as a forcible felony because it does not inherently
involve the use or threat of physical force or violence against a person. The
distinction is critical as forcible felonies have special legal implications, including
eligibility for certain sentencing enhancements and use-of-force considerations.
QUESTION 4
Using the MACK P BART mnemonic, which of the following is a FORCIBLE
FELONY?
, A) Manslaughter
B) Extortion
C) Arson
D) Fraud
E) Embezzlement
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The MACK P BART mnemonic helps officers remember forcible
felonies: M - murder, A - assault (specifically aggravated assault), C - criminal
sexual assault, K - kidnapping, P - predatory criminal sexual assault, B - burglary,
A - arson, R - robbery, T - treason. Arson is included in this list because it involves
the use of fire with the potential for violence and destruction, and it meets the
statutory definition of a forcible felony. The mnemonic is a valuable memory aid
for officers, especially when making split-second decisions regarding use of force,
arrest authority, and tactical responses. Understanding which offenses qualify as
forcible felonies is essential for determining appropriate police response and
understanding the severity level of crimes encountered.
QUESTION 5
What is the legal definition of ASSAULT?
A) Intentional infliction of bodily harm upon another
B) Without legal authority, engaging in conduct which places another in
reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery
C) Physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature
D) Threatening words spoken to another person
E) Any unwanted physical touching
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assault is legally defined as conduct engaged in without legal authority
that places another person in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery. The
key elements are: (1) the action must be without legal authority, (2) the conduct
must place another person in reasonable apprehension, and (3) the apprehension
must be of receiving a battery. It is important to note that assault does NOT require
actual physical contact; it is about the reasonable fear or apprehension of
