Police Officer Test

Police Officer Test

How do you tell the difference between an Australian Police Officer, a Canadian Police Officer, an American Police Officer and a Scottish officer? The answer is found below.

QUESTION: You’re a policeman, on duty by yourself. You are walking on a deserted street late at night.
Suddenly, an armed man with a huge knife comes around the
corner, locks eyes with you and screaming something that sounds like
obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at you.

You are carrying your full belt of force options and are an expert in using them.
However, you have only a split second to react before he reaches you. What do you do?

ANSWERS:

Canadian Police Officer:

Firstly he must consider the person's human rights:

1) Does the man look mentally unstable, poor and/or oppressed?

2) Is he newly arrived in this country and does not yet understand the
law?

3) Is this really a knife or a ceremonial dagger?

4) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to
attack?

5) Am I dressed provocatively?

6) Could I run away?

7) Could I possibly swing my retractable asp baton and knock the knife out of his hand?

8) Should I try and negotiate with him to discuss his
wrong-doings?

9) Why am I carrying so many destructive use of force options anyway and what kind of message does this send to society?

10) Does he definitely want to kill me or would he be content just to wound me?

11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, would he still want to stab and kill me?

12) If I raise my firearm and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed if he falls over, knocks his head, suffers an injury or even worse, dies?

13) If I hurt him and lose the subsequent court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home?

Australian Police Officer:

BANG!

American Police Officer:

BANG ! BANG !
BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !

BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !

Glasgow Police Officer:
