Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS) Practice Exam

Which of the following combinations could represent an alphabetic character in an ORI?

1. AQ for federal agents

2. WL for wildlife

3. FD for firearm division

4. CT for civil traffic

The correct answer is: WL for wildlife

In an ORI (Originating Agency Identifier), each combination of characters typically represents a specific agency or function within law enforcement or governmental operations. The other options all have specific meanings that relate to federal or state law enforcement functions, but they may not conform to the typical use in an ORI context specifically when evaluating combinations of alphabetic characters. The combination "WL" is representative of wildlife divisions, which are often designated by such abbreviations in official documentation, including those pertaining to enforcement of wildlife laws. This makes it a valid example of an alphabetic character representation that fits the criteria of an ORI style designation. In contrast, combinations like "AQ," "FD," and "CT" represent specific functions or divisions that are somewhat broader and may not conform to the strictest interpretation of representing an alphabetic character within the specific parameters utilized in ORIs. Therefore, "WL" stands out as the correct choice for representing an alphabetic character in this context.
