Sample OH Correction Officer Practice Questions

1A correction officer reads a passage stating: "All visitors must present a valid government-issued photo ID and pass through the metal detector before entering the visitation room. Visitors who refuse the search will be denied entry." According to the passage, which visitor must be denied entry?
A.A visitor who refuses to walk through the metal detector
B.A visitor who presents a valid driver's license
C.A visitor who arrives ten minutes early
D.A visitor who is on an approved visitation list
Explanation: The passage states that visitors who refuse the search (the metal detector screening) will be denied entry. Refusing the metal detector is a refusal of the required search, so that visitor must be denied entry.
2A policy reads: "Inmates assigned to kitchen duty must wear hairnets and closed-toe shoes at all times while in the food preparation area." An inmate enters the food preparation area wearing a hairnet and sandals. What is true based on the policy?
A.The inmate is in compliance because a hairnet is worn
B.The inmate is out of compliance because sandals are not closed-toe shoes
C.The inmate is in compliance because shoes are not required in the kitchen
D.The inmate is out of compliance only if no hairnet is worn
Explanation: The policy requires both a hairnet AND closed-toe shoes. Sandals are not closed-toe shoes, so wearing them violates the policy even though the hairnet requirement is met.
3During a count, an officer tallies 24 inmates in Block A and 19 inmates in Block B. Three inmates from Block A have been moved to medical. How many inmates should currently be physically present across both blocks (excluding those in medical)?
A.40
B.43
C.46
D.37
Explanation: Total assigned is 24 + 19 = 43. Subtracting the 3 inmates moved to medical leaves 43 - 3 = 40 inmates physically present across both blocks.
4An inmate calmly tells an officer that he is being threatened by another inmate and fears for his safety. What is the most appropriate first response?
A.Tell the inmate to handle it himself to avoid looking weak
B.Document the report and notify a supervisor so the threat can be assessed and the inmate's safety addressed
C.Ignore the report because inmates often exaggerate
D.Publicly confront the accused inmate in front of others
Explanation: Officers have a duty to protect inmates in their custody. The appropriate response is to take the report seriously, document it, and notify a supervisor so the threat can be assessed and protective action taken.
5An officer studies a duty roster for several minutes, then it is removed. The roster listed Officer Lee at Post 3, Officer Garcia at Post 1, and Officer Brown at Post 2. Which officer was assigned to Post 1?
A.Officer Lee
B.Officer Brown
C.Officer Garcia
D.No officer was assigned to Post 1
Explanation: Memory and observation items test recall of details. The roster placed Officer Garcia at Post 1, making Garcia the correct answer.
6Which sentence is written most clearly and correctly for an incident report?
A.Me and Officer Diaz seen the inmate run.
B.Officer Diaz and I observed the inmate run toward the exit.
C.The inmate, running, was seen by Officer Diaz and myself toward the exit.
D.Seen running the inmate by Officer Diaz and me toward exit.
Explanation: Reports must use clear, grammatically correct language. "Officer Diaz and I observed the inmate run toward the exit" uses correct subject pronouns, the proper verb, and a logical word order.
7A passage states: "Contraband includes any item not issued by the facility or authorized for an inmate's possession." Based on this definition, which item is contraband?
A.A state-issued uniform
B.An approved prescription medication logged with medical
C.A homemade weapon fashioned from a metal tray
D.A library book checked out through the facility program
Explanation: Contraband is any item not issued by the facility or authorized for possession. A homemade weapon is neither issued nor authorized, so it clearly fits the definition of contraband.
8A shift begins at 0600 and ends at 1400. How many hours long is the shift?
A.6 hours
B.8 hours
C.10 hours
D.14 hours
Explanation: Using the 24-hour clock, 1400 minus 0600 equals 8 hours. The shift runs from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
9Read the following steps for releasing an inmate to a transport: (1) Verify the inmate's identity, (2) Check the transfer order, (3) Apply restraints per policy, (4) Sign the inmate over to the transport officer. Which step should occur first?
A.Apply restraints
B.Sign the inmate over
C.Verify the inmate's identity
D.Check the transfer order
Explanation: Information-ordering items require placing steps in logical sequence. Verifying the inmate's identity must come first to ensure the correct person is being processed before any further action.
10An officer observes two inmates arguing loudly but not yet physical. What is the best initial action?
A.Walk away and hope it resolves on its own
B.Issue a calm, clear verbal directive to separate and de-escalate before the situation becomes physical
C.Immediately use physical force on both inmates
D.Encourage other inmates to break it up
Explanation: Early intervention with calm, clear verbal commands can de-escalate a verbal conflict before it becomes physical. This protects safety while using the least force necessary.
