CDCR MAJOR 3 TEST PAPER ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔You will identify the five situations when the use of chemical agents would be
appropriate as a non deadly force option - ✔✔Gain compliance with a lawful order
Overcome resistance
Effect arrest and custody
Subdue an attacker
Prevent escape
✔✔You will identify the two chemical agents approved for use by cdcr - ✔✔Oleoresin
capsicum (oc)
Orthochlorobenzalmalonontrile (cs)
✔✔You will match the two chemical agents with their corresponding descriptive
characteristics (OC) - ✔✔•Orange
•pepper spray
•chemical class: inflammatory
•Osor: pungent or pepper-like
✔✔You will match the two chemical agents with their corresponding descriptive
characteristics (CS) - ✔✔•Blue
•Tear gas
• Irritant
• pungent or peppery
• 3x heavier than air
✔✔You will identify the two forms of chemical agents used in CDCR - ✔✔Liquid
Solid
✔✔You will identify characteristics of a liquid chemical agent - ✔✔Aerosol are a liquid
chemical agent. These agents operate exactly the same way as a can of spray paint: A
pressurized gas disperses the chemical agents approved on a liquid Carrier in a stream,
fogger, or foam.
, ✔✔You will identify the characteristics of a pyrotechnic chemical agent - ✔✔Chemical
agents in a solid state (CS) can be dispersed using a pyrotechnic device. Pyrotechnic
grenades can be identified by their emission ports or holes. When ignited they burn at
750-800 degrees. 40% agent and 60% fuel. Not authorized for inside use.
✔✔You will identify the characteristics of a blast grenade - ✔✔Micro-pulverized agents
(Cs and OC) are normally dispersed by a blast grenade. A blast grenade uses a an
explosive charge to press over a small area. Blasting grenades can be identified by their
rupture grooves.
✔✔You will identify the three types of contamination that occur when chemical agents
are used - ✔✔•Direct physical contamination
•Indirect contamination
•Area contamination
✔✔You will identify the six parts of a protective mask - ✔✔•Head Harness
•Filter/Canister
•Inhalation port
•Exhalation port
•Voice box
•Lens/face piece
✔✔You will identify the first step in any decontamination process of an individual -
✔✔•Remove the individual from the contamination area to an open, upwind area.
•Keep the contaminated individual reassures and calm; restrict their activity.
✔✔MK-3 recommended minimum deployment distance. - ✔✔3 ft
✔✔Mk-4 recommended minimum deployment distance - ✔✔3 ft
✔✔Mk-9 recommended minimum deployment distance - ✔✔6ft
✔✔Mk-46 recommended deployment distance - ✔✔12 ft
✔✔You will identify the ten tactical considerations for the delivery of chemical agents -
✔✔Device type
Wind
Exit routes
Obstructions
Fire hazards
Community exposure
Sensitive areas
Terrain
