Correct answer: C - Advertising the regulated business without the required license is itself prohibited
During a parking dispute, a visitor steps within striking distance, raises a clenched fist, and says, 'I am hitting you now.' A guard reasonably believes an immediate blow is coming, but another person restrains the visitor before contact occurs. Which offense best fits the stated facts?
Correct answer: A - Assault, based on reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm
An armed-work student earns 82% on the written component and 222 points on a 300-point live-fire course. Nevada requires at least 75% on each component. What result must the instructor record?
Correct answer: B - Fail live fire; 222 is below the required 225 points
An event venue personally warned a disruptive patron in writing 40 months ago never to return. That warning is the only trespass notice: there are no qualifying signs, fence, paint markings, cultivation, or new demand to leave. The patron now enters peacefully during public hours. What is the most defensible first response?
Correct answer: D - Issue a new documented demand to leave because 40 months exceeds the warning period
A private patrol officer license applicant documents 7,400 hours of qualifying experience and qualifying bachelor's-level education. Nevada credits that education as approximately 3,000 hours, and the experience requirement is 10,000 hours. What is the correct conclusion about the experience component?
Correct answer: A - It is satisfied with approximately 10,400 credited hours
At noon, a person kicks an inhabited home's locked door hard enough to splinter the frame and enters without permission. The evidence does not establish an intent to commit theft, battery, or another felony inside. Which offense is established by the stated entry facts?
Correct answer: C - Home invasion, because forcible unauthorized entry damaged the dwelling
A guard sees an assailant aim a handgun at a visitor and announce an immediate intent to shoot. Usable cover is nearby, and several bystanders are exposed. Which response is most defensible?
Correct answer: B - Use cover, alert 911, protect bystanders, and limit force to what the imminent threat requires
A Nevada PPO company plans to hire an unlicensed person for covered security work. The person scores 98% on the employer-administered registered-employee examination. A manager says the score is acceptable because the PPO license examination requires only 75%. How should the company proceed?
Correct answer: D - Do not record a pass; the separate employee examination requires 100%
A shoplifter quietly places a $90 radio in a bag. At the exit, a guard asks for the radio back. The shoplifter punches the guard, keeps the radio, and runs. Which offense best characterizes the taking as a whole?
Correct answer: D - Robbery, because force used to retain property or escape qualifies
The Board notifies a PPO licensee that its required liability policy has terminated. Twelve days later, the licensee has neither supplied proof of effective replacement coverage nor obtained approval to self-insure. What is the license status?
