You are probably right, but if an obvious conflict exists, whether they refernce the specific procedure or not, it is a completely unfair question. If an incident fits two procedures, especially if one is newer than the other and often says "any other procedure that conflicts with this one is invalid" at the end of many of the newer procedures, how can they "lock you in"?
The exam writers should all lose their gigs on this one, complete incompetence, pettiness, and picked many obscure points to test on...
"Unfair" is not protestable. All of us who spent our summers studying for this test, away from kids, wives/husbands and warm sunny beach days should go into the protest session prepared with FACTS as to why their questions and answers are garbage.

Some of the newer procedures specifically tell you at the end that no other procedure can conflict with the contents of the new order. If thats the case, then any procedure that says that and they went to the other one is a conflict that is invalid and should not be asked and should be thrown out. The off duty in 212 doesn't say that, but was written in 2007. Many newer procedures do say that though... and that is a FACT!

I like the fact that you said for the EEO ( AUDIO PEEPING TOM ) question all the choices violated the department policy to report and it's true. That's enough for a protest for me. That's one of those judgement questions that EVERYONE should protest.

Assualt 2 with a stick and a m.o.s being a witness and not the least bit involved is not an "UNUSUAL OCCURENCE". It's very common and it should be thrown out.

I will add to your PINS question objection. In writing it, they were reading off the Juvenile Report Section:
A COMPLAINT REPORT WORKSHEET (Juvenile Report caption checked off) and a JUVENILE REPORT SYSTEM WORKSHEET are prepared for a juvenile at least seven (7) but less than sixteen (16) years of age for: a. An act that would constitute a crime if committed by an adult except for those acts listed in step 4 of P.G. 207-01, Complaint Reporting System b. Violations committed by juveniles c. Person in need of supervision (if under sixteen (16) years of age) as defined in the Family Court Act, (Section 712, subdivision a); Advise civilian complainant of right to seek a petition in Family Court
Members of the service will prepare an ON-LINE ARREST REPORT SUPPLEMENT WORKSHEET (PD224-1516) when a person in need of supervision is sixteen (16) or seventeen (17) years of age.
d. Intoxicated juveniles e. Juvenile under sixteen (16) years of age found in a house of prostitution f. Stranded juvenile g. Runaway juvenile h. Juvenile unlawfully present in a licensed premises i. Juvenile apparently under the influence of a dangerous drug, e.g., heroin, cocaine, morphine, opium, marijuana, amphetamines, barbiturates, hallucinogens j. Traffic infractions - bicycles - persons over seven (7) but less than sixteen (16) years of age k. Missing person, at least seven (7) years of age but less than sixteen (16) years of age.
They didn't bother to read that the note between C & D was referring to C and had absolutely nothing to do with d,e,f,g. Dummies.
Those of us that goy this wrong should rest assured that their score will increase by one. It is clearly an improper question. The cute little test writers, in theur quest to seem smart, misread the PG

I don't remember what number, but I didn't want to sign off on ANY of the vouchers. But it wasn't a choice so I had to pick one. I picked the narcotics voucher.

As far as the chest pains go the lieutenant was relieved from the desk so the prisoner is the responsibility of the desk officer so not for the immediate attention the lieutenant. I thought about it that way but I am probably wrong.
i'm with you, i also thought that it was the DO responsibility. I dont know if I just read too much into it. They had questions in the test that had no place in the PG (no such thing as ADO, no such thing as Platoon Commander meetings etc), so when I read that question I went by PG which specifically stated that the Platoon Commander has to respond to missing 9yr old.
i'm not sure how to articulate my protest but I dont remember where it specifically states in the PG what jobs you must handle first as a Lt. The question with the chest pain, shouldn't the DO that was relieving the Lt for meal be handling that? Why wait until Lt comes off meal???

Hazmat is 42, the one with the triple answer. Unless you picked D, you are golden.

I chose to handle the prisoner first. even if you delegate it to the sgt, you are still addressing it first. the missing 9 yr old they are supposed to start the search even if the lt is not present. when the lt shows up he is in charge of the search. protestable. does anyone know the question number.

Someone brought up in the protest session about question 20. The question stated: according to Patrol Guide Procedure 207-52 "Complaints Involving Cellular Telephones"
There is no Patrol Guide Procedure 207-52
Protest the question because it references a procedure that does not exist.
"Complaints Involving Cellular Telephones" is an interim order 207 series #52 of 2009

Another question worth protesting is the Identity Theft. The body of the question stated: "according to the Complainant's report of Lost or Stolen Property/Identity Theft" so they are not locking you into a procedure but rather a form. If you look at the form it doesn't state the criteria for classifying ID theft. The examiners were probably thinking about the Identity Theft preliminary investigation form which has the cover sheet and the scenarios. I forgot what number the question was.

Don't remember the question but it had something to do with an off duty and they were looking for the wrong answer which was fax to emd or something like that but there was a choice that said IAB COMMAND LOG NUMBER and that's wrong as well because there is no such thing. I don't recall the number but I hope someone protests this question or try to find out the number to this question.

The question regarding the "Complaints Involving Cellular Phones" was incorrectly referenced as PG 207-52, which does not exist. I threw that protest into the write-up.

If I have time tomorrow, I will definitely look for it. If I also got it wrong, I will protest it.

@oneadditional: I think the question coveredDesk Officer duties at a family dispute. Looked for the incorrect anwer. The Typed Letterhead going to EMD (fax immediately with the #) step #12f(2) of the 208-37 I think. (sorry fried) I tried a challenge stating that the fax and sealed envelope are both required to EMD. Doesn't state one instead of other. Gave it a shot. The rest of the choices seemed to be in the PG and true as I reviewed the Desk Officer duties.

There was also the grammer question where choice C has "canceled" in the text. DCAS posted choice D as the correct answer. I swear, "CANCELLED" is the proper spelling, so choice C was worth a protest to me. Anyone reading before round 3 Friday, give it a write up if you need a point on that one. Love that DCAS

208-37 11. Notify Internal Affairs Bureau Command Center and obtain LOG NUMBER ( not Internal affairs COMMAND LOG NUMBER ) then 11a states to enter the iab LOG number in the details section...... the problem is that this choice was C I believe so when scrolling down and looking for the wrong answer I automatically stopped here cause there's no such thing as a IAB COMMAND LOG NUMBER. It's just a regular log number but D was the correct choice involving EMD. In the rest of the procedure LOG number is used as well. In the fast track total guide LOG NUMBER is even underlined, not COMMAND LOG NUMBER. They have to realize that we do have something called a command log which we use at the desk to sign in and out of as referenced in 202-14 (1) but the command log is never mentioned in this procedure.

Cancelled and canceled are both acceptable ways of spelling the word, but one of them is considered proper/standard english I believe. The other answer choice had the word "Don't" which is also bad. Should be a double answer if someone can make the argument.
