This document contains over 100 thoroughly verified questions and answers from the 2025/2026 MPTC (Municipal Police Training Committee) Criminal Investigations exam module. It covers foundational and advanced investigative practices including the RESPECT model for scene management, establishing perimeters, documenting evidence (photography, sketching, logs), and the use of direct, circumstantial, physical, and testimonial evidence. Students are also tested on legal concepts such as exculpatory evidence, chain of custody, reliability and admissibility standards, and rules for collecting firearms, trace, DNA, and digital evidence. Additional questions focus on field investigation tools like show-ups and photo arrays, proper evidence packaging methods, and types of search patterns (lane, grid, systematic). Legal definitions and distinctions of criminal intent are covered in depth—such as negligent, reckless, wanton, and willful conduct—along with Massachusetts court procedures and victim rights, including financial compensation and emotional trauma support. Ideal for MPTC recruits, university criminal justice majors, forensic trainees, and police professionals, this document supports both written exam prep and the practical application of investigative procedures in real-world policing. Keywords: MPTC criminal investigations, evidence handling, chain of custody, RESPECT model, crime scene management, testimonial evidence, fingerprint types, impression evidence, show-up ID, photo array, criminal intent, negligent conduct, wanton intent, DNA collection, victim compensation, Massachusetts law, court process, field sketching, digital evidence, physical evidence
