    This written examination requires core fundamentals, principles and specific knowledge about correctional safety procedures, duty conduct, as well as the key methods of discipline applied to persons under restraint of the San Andreas Department of Corrections (SADoC). The SADoC Correctional Officer Exam consists of two segments of written questions. Successfully attending one SADoC Academy session is required in order to partake in the written examination, and it is also where the core elements required for successful completion, are obtained. The development of examinations is coordinated by the Department of Corrections Training and Recruitment sub-department, which is also responsible for the entirety of the Academy Process.

    Answer the following questions with what you believe is correct. Make sure you read the question twice before providing an answer. Remember, we wish precise answers, but you can always support your statements with own arguments.[/divbox]

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]12.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]While on regular foot patrol in the facility, Correctional Officer L hears strange sounds coming from one of the cells. After approaching the cell, he notices two inmates engaged in a fight. What should Officer L do next?[/b]

    - Firstly, he should call for a backup over the Internal Radio and warn the two inmates to stop fighting. If they don't stop, he may use the OC Spray to break the fight. Meanwhile, the backup would arrive. Then we can get inside the cell, handcuff both inmates and take them to C1 if a permission from a Senior Correctional Officer was granted.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]13.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correctional Officer K has subdued an inmate on the yard, after said inmate assaulted another officer. Officer K was ordered to transport this inmate to Department C1. What kind of security precautions should be taken before transportation, and what vehicle should be used?
    [/b]
    - Officer K should handcuff the inmate and call for at least one CO through the Internal Radio to help him. After the CO arrives, they should take the inmate to the bus loading area and take one of the Securicars, place the inmate inside and lock all the doors. When they arrive to C1, he should put the inmate in the isolation cell. Moreover, when they're done, they are obliged to take the Securicar back to it's place and complete their duties normally.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]14.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correction Officer W has been ordered by a Sergeant to physically assault an inmate, who is known to be non-compliant, and a general troublemaker, though he was behaving at that specific time. How should Officer W proceed?[/b]

    - He should follow the Sergeant's orders without any hesitations. In addition, he should at least use the ASP 21'' Expandable Baton.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]15.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correction Officer J notices two racially different groups of inmates forming on each side of Department A, Block 1, openly insulting each other, loudly. His co-workers, including his superiors, just went on a coffee break in the Staff Facility. He is having second thoughts about calling for backup, as it can potentially be a false alarm. What should Officer J do?[/b]

    - Without any thinkings, he should call for backup as soon as possible, even if he knows it may turn out to be a false alarm.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]16.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correctional Officer K is on  Community Service, escorting two of his previously appointed inmates. He notices an inmate quite far away from him attacking another officer and then running off.  What should Officer K do?[/b]

    - He should immediately report it to his superior through the Internal Radio and stay with the other appointed inmate. Another decisions may be taken, but it depends on the superior's orders.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]17.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Two inmates engaged in a fight in Cellblock A1, which resulted in one of them running away, and the other falling on the ground. The inmate on the ground is injured and motionless. Correctional Officer S, who has just arrived on scene, witnesses the assault and the inmate running off. What should Officer S do next?
    [/b]
    - First, he should call for a backup through the Internal Radio, tell other COs about the inmate who ran off, and [b]stay[/b] with the injured inmate and check him, as the other one has no way to escape from the facility.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]18.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Several inmates get into a fight in the canteen right when Correctional Officer R is entering it. He notices the brawl. What should Officer R do next?[/b]

    - First thing, is to call for an immediate backup over the Internal Radio. Then he takes out his OC Spray can and uses it to break the fight between the inmates. If one of the inmates wasn't affected by the OC Spray, he may take out his X26 Taser and use it. Then he/she and/or the other Correctional Officers must quickly handcuff all the inmates who participated in the fight and take them directly to isolation if a permission from a Senior Correction Officer was granted.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]19.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correctional Officer G is dealing with several non-behaving inmates in the cell area, when an officer of the Los Santos Police Department, who is just bringing in another suspect, requests SADoC's assistance in the processing room. Officer G is the only one on duty and is not able to assist. How should he respond on the departmental radio?[/b]

    - Well, the Correctional Officer should tell the officer of the Los Santos Police Department over the Departmental Radio to stand-by and take care of the suspect until he can respond, as he/she's the only Correctional Officer on duty.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]20.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correction Officers B and G are the only ones on duty. It is a calm, regular day in the facility; no riots, fights or misbehaving inmates. An inmate approaches Officer B and asks him if they could be let in the laundry room to wash their bed sheets. Should Officer B grant this request?[/b]

    - Since there are no riots, fights or misbehaving inmates, Correctional Officer B may grant the permission, but he must go with him and keep a strict eye on him.

    [size=120][color=#020457][b]21.)[/b][/color][/size] [b]Correctional Officer P notices an inmate, who is a known troublemaker, approach a differing ethnic group at the yard. The group notices said inmate and prepares to defend their territory, with force if required. What should Officer P do?[/b]

    - To start with, he should call for a backup over the Internal Radio. Then asks the troublemaker to step away from them, meanwhile the backup will arrive. If the troublemaker refuses, force may be used and OC Sprays must be used in case of a brawl.
