Which of the following is NOT listed as part of cadet training?

• A. Crisis intervention
• B. Police ride-alongs with community members
• C. Firearms use
• D. Problem-solving

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is what activities are actually included in cadet training. Cadet programs focus on building practical policing skills under supervision, including crisis intervention to safely handle encounters with individuals in distress and to de‑escalate tense situations; problem-solving to assess incidents, gather relevant information, and determine appropriate actions; and firearms use to learn safe handling, safety protocols, and qualification requirements. These are core training components designed to prepare cadets for field duties and decision-making in real scenarios.

Riding along with community members, however, isn’t a standard training module. Cadets typically ride along with sworn officers to observe patrols and operations, not with members of the public. The latter would not align with the structured training curriculum aimed at developing the cadet’s hands-on policing skills under officer supervision, which is why this activity is not listed as part of cadet training.
