【已刪除】11.According to this passage, what is the title for the head of each police department?
(A) Captain
(B) Chief
(C) Director
(D) Lieutenant

The United States doesn’t have one police force.

Instead(作為代替、取而代之), there are different police agencies(署、局、處) around the country.

At the head of each police department is the Chief(總警監).

The police force includes police officers(警員) and detectives(警探).

Police officers wear uniforms, and they respond to calls for help, direct traffic, investigate a burglary(搶劫、破門竊盜), etc.

They often patrol(巡邏) a specific(特定的) area and work with a partner.

Detectives are plainclothes(便衣) investigators who gather facts about specific cases.

An officer or detective can be promoted to(晉升) corporal(警士), sergeant(警長), lieutenant(警司), or captain(總警司).

Citizens who are at least 20 years old can enter the police force but there are specific requirements.

They must pass certain written and physical examinations(筆試與體能測驗).

In addition(另外、此外), senior officers, psychiatrists(精神病醫師), or psychologists(心理學家) find out about the candidates’(應試者的) personality(人格、性格) by interviewing them or giving them a personality test.
