TCOLE PRACTICE EXAM WITH QUESTIONS
& ANSWERS LATEST
Question 1
Which of the following is a risk factor in arrest situations?
Correct Answer
Spectator support for the subject
Rationale:
When an officer's attention is divided between responding to a suspect and attending to spectator
support for the subject, it can increase the likelihood of the suspect becoming more aggressive,
making the situation more volatile and difficult to manage. This divided attention can also lead to
a decrease in the officer's situational awareness and reaction time, ultimately raising the risk of
the situation escalating into a violent or deadly confrontation.
Question 2
An operator may not stop, stand, or park a vehicle within ____ feet of a fire hydrant.
Correct Answer
15
Rationale:
This question is based on traffic regulations, specifically the safe distance an operator must
maintain from a fire hydrant to ensure adequate access for firefighting and emergency response.
The correct distance is 15 feet because it provides a buffer zone to allow firefighters to maneuver
and access the hydrant without being obstructed by the vehicle, thereby ensuring the safety of
both the vehicle occupants and the firefighters.
Question 3
At least two reflectors on the rear of a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer
must be __________ in color.
