Sample Police Promotion Knowledge Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Police Promotion Knowledge Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 60+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to Article 175 of the Paraguayan Constitution, which mission belongs to the Policía Nacional?

A.Preserving lawful public order and protecting persons, entities, and their property

B.Defending national territory against external military aggression

C.Determining guilt and imposing criminal sentences

D.Representing the State in international diplomatic negotiations

Explanation: Article 175 assigns the Policía Nacional the preservation of legally established public order and the protection of rights and security. Its mission also includes preventing crimes, executing competent authorities' orders, and investigating crimes under judicial direction.

2An active-duty police officer argues that joining a political party is permitted if the officer accepts no leadership post. How does Article 175 address that distinction?

A.It prohibits party leadership but permits ordinary membership

B.It permits membership if the officer never wears a uniform at party events

C.It prohibits affiliation with a political party or movement as well as political activity

D.It permits membership with authorization from the officer's superior

Explanation: Article 175 prohibits active-duty police from affiliating with political parties or movements and from engaging in political activity. The restriction does not depend on holding a leadership post, wearing a uniform, or obtaining a superior's permission.

3Which institutions exclusively comprise the Fuerza Pública under Article 172 of the Constitution?

A.The military forces and the Ministerio Público

B.The police forces and the prison administration

C.The military forces, police forces, and private security providers

D.The military forces and the police forces

Explanation: Article 172 limits the Fuerza Pública to the military and police forces. Other institutions may perform public safety functions without becoming additional constitutional components of the Fuerza Pública.

4Article 175 places the Policía Nacional in the Executive branch's hierarchy. Under Ley N° 7280/2024, through which ministry is that relationship maintained?

A.Ministerio del Interior

B.Ministerio de Defensa Nacional

C.Ministerio de Justicia

D.Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores

Explanation: Article 175 establishes hierarchical dependence on the Executive organ responsible for internal security. Article 5 of Ley N° 7280/2024 specifies the link through the Ministerio del Interior.

5Which statement about capital punishment follows from Article 4 of the Constitution?

A.The death penalty is abolished

B.The death penalty remains available for wartime treason

C.The death penalty remains available for intentional killing of a police officer

D.The death penalty may be imposed if an ordinary statute authorizes it

Explanation: Article 4 expressly abolishes the death penalty. It also protects life and physical and psychological integrity, without creating the listed offense-based exceptions to abolition.

6What does Article 5 mean when it declares torture imprescriptible?

A.Its limitation period begins only when the victim files a complaint

B.The passage of time does not extinguish prosecution through a statute of limitations

C.Its limitation period is suspended while the accused remains a public official

D.Its limitation period is longer than that for ordinary assault

Explanation: Imprescriptible means that a statute of limitations does not extinguish the offense through the passage of time. Article 5 expressly includes torture in this category; this concept should not be confused with a claim about pardons or amnesties.

7Under Article 12 of the Constitution, what is the maximum period for placing a detained person at the disposal of the competent judicial magistrate?

A.6 hours

B.12 hours

C.24 hours

D.48 hours

Explanation: Article 12 requires judicial availability within no more than 24 hours. This is a detainee safeguard, not authorization to postpone immediate notice of the reasons for detention or other immediate rights.

8An officer plans to explain a detainee's rights only after transport to the station. What does Article 12 require at the time of detention?

A.Explain only the alleged offense; counsel can be discussed at the first hearing

B.Explain the rights only if the detainee asks for a lawyer

C.Wait until the detainee signs the booking record before explaining the rights

D.Inform the person of the cause, the right to silence, and the right to a trusted defender

Explanation: Article 12 requires information about the cause of detention, silence, and assistance by a trusted defender at the time of the event. It separately requires immediate communication of the detention to relatives or persons designated by the detainee.

9A competent judge exceptionally orders incomunicación within the statutory time limit. An officer then denies the detainee access to their defender because all communication is supposedly suspended. Which assessment follows Article 12?

A.The judicial exception can restrict communication, but it never extends to the defender

B.The restriction extends to the defender if the investigation involves several suspects

C.The restriction extends to the defender whenever the judge sets a time limit

D.Every judicial incomunicación order is unconstitutional, even if access to the defender remains available

Explanation: Article 12 makes free communication the rule but permits exceptional incomunicación by competent judicial order within the legal time limit. Even in that exception, the restriction does not apply to the person's defender.

10Investigators obtain a statement through conduct that violates legal guarantees. Under Article 17, item 9, may that statement be used against the accused merely because other evidence supports it?

A.Yes, corroboration removes the defect in how the statement was obtained

B.No, evidence or acts produced in violation of legal norms may not be opposed to the accused

C.Yes, provided the statement is used only to decide preventive detention

D.Yes, if the investigator reasonably believed the procedure was valid

Explanation: Article 17 protects a person from having evidence or procedural acts obtained in violation of legal norms used against them. Corroboration does not itself remove the violation in obtaining the statement described here.

Police Promotion Knowledge Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the Spanish official study packet alongside this English study aid and preserve the meaning of local legal terms.

2Check detention and defense safeguards against the enacted Constitution, including the limited judicial exception for incomunicación.

3Distinguish institutional posts, personnel ordering, officer categories, and the exact disciplinary terms in Ley N° 7280/2024.

4Use the manual's categories: actitud negativa, resistencia pasiva, resistencia negativa, resistencia activa grave, and agresión letal.

5Assess legality, necessity, proportionality, and opportunity together; practice decisions without treating MCQ answers as proof of operational competence.

6Obtain current institutional instructions for rank-specific eligibility and logistics; do not treat a historical directive or an unpromulgated bill as a current rule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Paraguayan National Police promotion exam?

No. OpenExamPrep provides an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation for the named assessment. ISEPOL's 2026 study material is in Spanish, but permitted assessment languages and current item types were not verified. This is not an official translation or a simulation of the exam's format or language environment.

What subjects are covered on the 2026 promotion knowledge exam?

The packet identifies Constitución Nacional, Ley N° 7280/2024 de Reforma y Modernización de la Policía Nacional, and Uso de la Fuerza. Its force section is titled Manual de Uso de la Fuerza de la Policía Nacional. Official subject percentages were not verified; our equal practice allocation is an editorial study choice.

Who is eligible to take this examination?

This is a promotion assessment for serving officers and sub-officers, not a public cadet admission test. Eligibility depends on the person's rank, service, required training, conduct, and applicable aptitude criteria. Confirm the current annual requirements with the institution rather than applying one rank's rule to every candidate.

What are the passing score and time limit for 2026?

Neither was verified for 2026 in the public official sources reviewed. The 2025 directive specified a 90-minute maximum and a 60% minimum per subject for its identified eligible groups. Those are historical rules and should not be assumed to apply to the current assessment.

Are there other components in the promotion process?

The statutory framework includes psychotechnical, knowledge, and use-of-force examinations, plus rank-dependent promotion criteria such as training, physical efficiency, and reliability testing. ISEPOL also publishes the current Ficha Médica EEF Ascenso 2026. Exact 2026 practical or oral delivery, assignments, and case-study requirements were not verified. These MCQs cannot replace any required performance, oral, or physical practice.
