That made me so confused! The use of 'its' is correct here.

"Your senior officer shoots a innocent man 6 times in the back by mistake for giving him lip at a spot check traffic stop, how many minutes does it take to plant the fake evidence exhonorating him before too many people turn up?" Seems to be missing.

There is no US police force. All the thousands of law enforcement agencies have different standards and application procedures. I've not heard of any requiring math on the spot, just a HS or college diploma depending on the agency, but maybe that exists? All the ones I'm familiar with have a resume/cover letter/physical application to training/academy and then you have to pass the tests there, usually focused on procedure, law or technique.

Depends on where. US has at least 1500 law enforcement agencies. Many of these are not well trained (eg. ICE). Some are very good others are worse than bad.

It does say Police, not ICE...and some of these are basic school maths.

It's wrong. The first option has eight stations (including start and finish) while the supposedly correct answer has only seven.

Ive helped multiple officers study for their tests and these were not the questions i remember by any means? Things like preamble, constitution, law codes, nato phonetic alphabet but i dont remember any sounding like a question on a 9th grade math quiz?

Sorry, but this is nothing more than a high-school test in Germany. However, that might explain the police violence in the US! I personally would be scared to have our law enforcing officers only to be trained several weeks ans then having to pass this miniscule test. Luckily here, they get a several years lasting education!

Hey, BP quiz writer, when you change the answer to Q.11 to the correct option (the first one, with eight stations, not the one you currently show as correct which has only seven) could you show us the courtesy of acknowledging it either in the comments or with an addendum to the end of the quiz, please and thank you.

#5 is suspicious. How can a passer-by have observed the direction the suspicious vehicle travelled unless there are no buildings or other obstacles to view, and relatively little distance, between the park and the intersection where it made its second turn?

These questions would test nothing about a person's ability to do policing appropriately. My father was a cop so I have personal experience with what a cop needs to know to do her job correctly. Above-average math skills isn't one of those attributes.

If that's the test 'mirkins use to test their filth then yeah, things have become much clearer

It's not. Police agencies are by city or sometimes county. They each have their own rules. I live in the Minneapolis, MN metro area. George Floyd was m******d in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, St. Paul (the sister city), and all the surrounding suburbs all have their own police departments. I've heard many, many complaints about Mpls police over the years. I've never heard any about St. Paul police, or really about the police from any of the suburbs.
