You've been a police officer for 5 years. One day while on a routine patrol on the 401, you get dispatched to an accident. When you arrive on the scene, two vehicles have gone off the road and hit some trees. Once you get to the vehicles you find two people in one car, one who is pregnant, and both have serious injuries requiring immediate medical attention. In the other car you find a family friend who smells of alcohol and you observe alcohol bottles on the floor of his car. Your friend doesn't seem to require medical attention. What do you do?

You are a Correctional Officer of high moral character, well respected and a team player. Today you overhear Officer Smith and Officer Jones discussing an "operation'. They are allowing drugs and drug paraphernalia to be smuggled into the institution through the inmate kitchen area. Inmates in the kitchen are paying Officers Smith and Jones to look the other way.

You are a new Correctional Officer at the County Jail. You have heard rumors that Officer Smith has become quite "friendly" with a female inmate. During your shift, you witness Officer Smith and the female inmate laughing and joking and you see Officer Smith lean forward and kiss her on the cheek.

You are a C.B.S.A. officer at the Bridge. At the start of your shift, you are briefed on a tip from the R.C.M.P. about a large quantity of drugs possibly trying to enter Canada concealed in the door panels of a vehicle. You are given the vehicle description and license plate number. Within an hour, this vehicle arrives at your booth. The driver is your friend.

You are a Correctional Officer who loves hockey. Last week a well-known hockey player was arrested and booked for DUI. This morning at cell inspection, Inmate Jones takes you aside and whispers, "take it easy on me and I'll get you great tickets to some home games".
