Which of the following describes three tasks commonly associated with State Police?

• A. Issuing driver licenses and maintaining parks
• B. Enforcing laws, making arrests, and patrolling highways
• C. Training school teachers
• D. Issuing marriage licenses and passports

Answer: (B)

State Police are a statewide law-enforcement body, so their common duties center on enforcing laws, making arrests when laws are violated, and patrolling highways to keep traffic safe and respond to incidents across the state. This combination lines up exactly with the described tasks. Other options reflect responsibilities outside state police work: issuing driver licenses and maintaining parks are handled by the motor vehicle and parks/recreation agencies; training school teachers belongs to the education system; issuing marriage licenses and passports involves vital records and the federal passport system rather than state police.
