Most of you picked the park as the staging area and you are WRONG. It was the stadium parking lot even though the concert was sold out and and here is why:
The introduction stated southerly winds at 35 knots (which means winds are blowing from the south at 35 MPH). Also it stated that the distance between any 2 blocks is 500 feet.
Orange smoke from the clinic indicates HazMat and according to the HazMat procedure you will set up upwind, if possible.
For those who say it's not possible to set up at the stadium, remember the stadium may be sold out, but the test did not specifically state or indicate that there was not enough room to expand to a Level 3 or 4 mobilization IN THE PARKING LOT. It must be very specific that the PARKING LOT is full. You cannot assume that because the stadium is sold out that the lot also is full. For all we know the lot may have extra spaces or a separate section for special events. We don't know because it doesn't say. Therefore we cannot exclude it.
Also, there was a whole block between the stadium and the clinic. So since the distance between any 2 blocks is 500 feet, then the stadium would still meet the minimum of 1000 feet for the explosion.
The park is downwind so it cannot be the correct answer.
I am suprised I am the only one who caught this.
I chose this as well for the same reasoning.

YOU are wrong. how are you going to set up the staging area where there are thousands of civilians around. for the wind part you should of looked at the top right hand corner the wind was blowing down not up. so the stadium will face the wind the the park will be away from it. everyone got a question wrong wishes to be thrown out but it is what it is. the only question i can see being thrown out is the prisoner unusual and that's if they didn't lock us in if they did then we are done here.

They also, specifically stated that, at the stadium they were expecting overcrowding and to have extra cops reassigned when it spills out at the end.

Yeah seriously. The park was 1,000 feet away. Stop arguing with someone who clearly got the wrong answer.

No updates and I'm not changing the mobilization answer (even tho I'm pretty sure the park is the answer, you just never know when it comes to DCAS)
Remember this key can still be off by 1-7 questions. And most of those hard questions and their locations has been covered here on this site so everyone should have a good idea if you passed or failed

The test stated that the distance between any 2 blocks is 500 feet.
WELL WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO JUST ACROSS THE STREET IS 500 FEET? MIDBLOCK TO MIDBLOCK is 500? IT DOESN'T SAY.
Its so obvious that you who say that the stadium being only one block away makes it 500 feet and not a 1000 feet are the same morons who have to ask other cops to figure out how many hours overtime you worked because you can't subtract 8:35 from your total hours worked in your head.
Bottom line, the test writers screwed this question up and it will either be a double answer or thrown out.
How can you have an arrow with the wind blowing south on the map but then say the wind is southery at 35 MPH which means it is blowing north??? Obvious contridiction.
And all of you ASSUME that the parking lot is full because the stadium was overflowing. The scenarios given never made that clear. How do you know that there wasn't an oversized parking lot that only gets half full when the stadium sells out? You don't. So don't make an assumption.

Hehe after 2 weeks we are still debating the mobilization question. I Guess we going to have to wait out the official key for that one. Great protest question and possible double answer. I also believe that question was poorly executed. I hate the fact they used the phrase "southern winds".
