Police Entrance Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should officers do upon issuance of a citation?

Just hand over the citation

Explain the violation and court appearance procedure

Officers should never simply hand over a citation without explaining the violation and court appearance procedure to the individual. Option A does not address the importance of providing information and guidance to the individual. Option C is incorrect as officers should only detain an individual for questioning if there is reasonable suspicion of a crime being committed. Option D is incorrect as calling for backup should not be the immediate response to issuing a citation unless there is an immediate threat to safety. It is essential for officers to communicate effectively and provide information to the individual in order to ensure they understand the citation and their rights.
