Captain-level Administrative Supervision, and its published rubric
The New York State Department of Civil Service publishes a generic sample of this exact subject, with a full worked answer key — the same published standard that licenses the Lieutenant exam's construct of the same name.
What the sample actually shows
The Department's Sample Test Material for 'Administrative supervision' places the reader in the role of a section supervisor with several subordinate unit supervisors. It presents one worked sample question, states the correct answer, and explains — in a full paragraph per option — why each of the four choices is or is not correct.
Built for a Captain's own level, not borrowed from Lieutenant's bank
RankHigh's Captain-level items are built fresh on the sample's own underlying principles — direct through the chain of supervision, gather full information before acting, never favor one subordinate supervisor over another — in scenarios appropriate to a Captain's own executive-officer duties: directing security staff and Lieutenants, not a Lieutenant's own direct supervision of Sergeants. Never a reproduction of the sample's own scenario, and never a Lieutenant-bank item repackaged for this rank.
