What Is the NYC Deputy Sheriff Exam?
DCAS designed the Deputy Sheriff Exam to assess all the skills required for an effective NYC Deputy Sheriff. The test includes 7 different types of questions, and mainly focuses on assessing your cognitive abilities. The passing threshold is 70%.
As a deputy sheriff, you will be responsible for enforcing local and state laws that impact the safety and welfare of the public. When faced with a dangerous scenario, you must use your independent judgment in handling the situation, as safety and crime prevention have become the priorities. Some deputy sheriff's duties include patrolling an area, investigating accidents and criminal activity, writing reports, interviewing witnesses and victims, gathering evidence, making arrests, serving warrants, and maintaining prudent use of your firearm.

Inductive Reasoning Sample Question
Question: In 2015, a new task force was assigned to the city’s police department. Based on the information above, where will this task force would be most effective?
The correct answer is B.
Since 2010 there has been an upward trend in the crime rate in District 2, and in 2014 it had the highest crime rate of all three districts. It would therefore be most effective to assign an extra task force to this district to try and prevent any further escalation in crime.
Although the crime rate was highest in District 1 from 2010 – 2013, it has been decreasing every year since 2012.
Spatial Orientation Sample Question
The map below is a scheme of subway lines in the city. Each line is marked by a different color and is associated with a different letter. Stations are numbered by their location on the line(s). The numbering of the stations progresses from the beginning of the line to its end. Lines always begin at the northernmost station, except for lines G and M which begin at the westernmost station. Codes associated with some of the stations have been written below them. A station can have more than one code associated with it, as some stations have more than one line passing through them.
Question: Ms. Sol Aroches needs to commute from station M3 to station O3. Which of the following routes would be the least efficient (passes through the most stations)?
Let’s count the stations traversed on each route.
M3 → M2: 1 station.
M2 → B8: Note that M2 = B10, so this is actually B10 → B8. 2 stations.
B8 → C3: Note that B8 = R3 and C3 = R5, so this is actually R3 → R5. 2 stations.
C3 → O3: Note that O3 = C2, so this is actually C3 → C2. 1 station.
A total of 1+2+2+1 = 6 stations.
M3 → C4: Note that C4 = M5, so this is actually M3 → M5. 2 stations.
C4 → O4: Note that O4 = M6, so this is actually M5 → M6. 1 station.
O4 → O3: 1 station.
A total of 2+1+1 = 4 stations.
M3 → M5: 2 stations.
M5 → O3: Notice that M5 = C4 and O3 = C2, so this is actually C4 → C2. 2 station.
A total of 2+2 = 4 stations.
M3 → B10: Note that B10 = M2, so this is actually M3 → M2. 1 station.
B10 → B5: 5 stations.
B5 → O3: Note that B5 = C1 and O3 = C2, so this is actually C1 → C2. 1 station.
A total of 1+5+1 = 7 stations.
Reading Comprehension Sample Question
Please read the following paragraph and determine if the statement below is true or false.
Moisture control is the key to mold control. When water leaks or spills occur indoors, a prompt response (within 24-48 hours) and thorough clean-up will prevent or limit mold growth. Mold prevention tips include repairing plumbing leaks in the building and maintaining indoor humidity below 70%.
Statement: Plumbing leaks are a cause of mold growth.
Since one of the mold preventive tips in the passage is: ’repair plumbing leaks in the building’, we have sufficient information to conclude that plumbing leaks cause mold growth.
