Tips: Check both parts of a combined answer against the opening problem statement.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Rising crime rates and a lack of police cooperation.: A possible crime increase is a coverage concern, but the source describes police support for a digital platform, not a lack of cooperation.
• Complaints from residents about patrol noise and a funding surplus with no plan.: The source reports a budget cut and costly recruitment, not a surplus, and never mentions patrol-noise complaints.
• Vandalism of program signs and a dispute between volunteer coordinators.: Neither sign vandalism nor a dispute between coordinators is reported.

Correct Answer: The dropped streets will see a spike in property crime.

Why this is correct: The concern is that streets removed from watch coverage will experience more property crime. A previous suspension of Zone Four is cited as the example.

Tips: Match the feared consequence to the specific change under discussion.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Volunteers will lose motivation and the entire program will shut down.: The speaker does not predict that the whole programme will shut down from lost motivation.
• The police will take over responsibility for all community patrols.: No police takeover of community patrols is predicted.
• The City of Brampton will withdraw its funding for the program.: No withdrawal of City funding is predicted.

Correct Answer: The flyer campaigns cost too much money and brought in very few volunteers.

Why this is correct: The two flyer campaigns were costly and recruited only three volunteers. That poor result is used to argue that a different, more flexible recruitment model is needed.

Tips: Check each option against the facts the speaker gives about the campaigns.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Local media have refused to publicize the volunteer recruitment drive.: No refusal by local media to publicize the drive is reported.
• The police have discouraged new volunteers from joining the program.: No police discouragement of volunteers is reported.
• Most residents in Brampton already volunteer for other community organizations.: The source does not say most residents already volunteer elsewhere.

Correct Answer: An app-based reporting model where volunteers observe and report digitally.

Why this is correct: The proposed alternative is for volunteers to observe and report through a mobile app instead of doing formal patrols. It changes how volunteers participate.

Tips: Separate the initial alternative from the later compromise that combines both models.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Installing security cameras in every zone.: Security cameras in every zone are not proposed.
• A phone hotline where residents can call in suspicious activity.: A phone hotline is not proposed.
• Hiring part-time paid patrol staff to replace volunteers.: Paid patrol staff replacing volunteers are not proposed.

Correct Answer: Run app-based reporting for casual volunteers and structured patrols for committed ones.

Why this is correct: The compromise keeps both approaches: app reporting for casual volunteers and structured patrols for those willing to make a regular commitment.

Tips: Listen for how a compromise combines the two alternatives.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Replace all patrols with the app and eliminate in-person volunteering entirely.: The compromise retains structured patrols rather than eliminating them.
• Allow each zone to choose its own model independently.: No independent model choice for each zone is proposed.
• Use app-based reporting only during the winter and patrols only in summer.: No seasonal split between app reporting and patrols is proposed.

Correct Answer: By applying to the City of Brampton's Community Safety Grant.

Why this is correct: Applying to the City of Brampton's Community Safety Grant is proposed immediately after the app subscription cost is raised. The closing plan adopts safety-grant funding for the dual model. This is the proposed application route, without claiming that a grant has already been awarded.

Tips: Check each option against the funding source the speakers name.

Why the other options are wrong:

• By holding a community fundraiser at a local park.: The discussion mentions past flyer campaigns for recruitment, but it does not propose a park fundraiser to pay for the app subscription.
• By requesting a donation from Peel Regional Police.: Peel Police is linked to the digital platform and a reduced liaison budget. A police donation is not the proposed funding route; the named funding application is to the City of Brampton.
• By collecting a small monthly fee from each volunteer.: The app is said to cost about one thousand dollars a year, but collecting monthly fees from individual volunteers is not proposed.

Correct Answer: Partnering with the local community college to recruit policing students who need volunteer hours.

Why this is correct: The proposed short-term approach is to work with the local community college. Policing students who need volunteer hours could help fill the shortage.

Tips: Identify the specific group suggested for recruitment and why it could participate.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Asking retired police officers to fill in temporarily.: Recruiting retired police officers is not the proposal.
• Reducing the number of zones so fewer volunteers are needed.: Reducing zones would reduce coverage, which the group wants to maintain.
• Offering a small stipend to current volunteers who recruit new members.: A recruitment stipend for existing volunteers is not proposed.

Correct Answer: Sheridan College's Brampton campus.

Why this is correct: The contact mentioned is the coordinator at Sheridan College's Brampton campus. That is the only college contact identified.

Tips: Listen for the complete name attached to the contact mentioned.

Why the other options are wrong:

• George Brown College.: George Brown College is not named as the contact.
• Humber College.: Humber College is not named as the contact.
• Centennial College.: Centennial College is not named as the contact.
