Which of the following is a duty of the Major Violators Section?

• A. Issue civil citations for cannabis under 20 grams
• B. Manage community outreach programs
• C. Schedule vehicle maintenance
• D. Conduct tactical operations to infiltrate targeted organizations and/or targeted offenders, to deter criminal activity in Hillsborough County

Answer: (D)

This item tests the focus on proactive, intelligence‑led enforcement by a unit that targets high‑level offenders and organized crime. The duty described—conduct tactical operations to infiltrate targeted organizations and/or targeted offenders, to deter criminal activity in Hillsborough County—embodies that approach. It involves planning and executing active, high-stakes actions to penetrate criminal networks and deter crimes before they occur, which is exactly what a Major Violators Section is designed to do.

The other options don’t fit this specialized role: issuing civil citations for cannabis under 20 grams is a routine civil enforcement task typically handled by patrol or like‑tier units; managing community outreach programs centers on relationship‑building and prevention rather than dismantling organized or high‑risk criminal activity; scheduling vehicle maintenance is an administrative task essential for operations but not a core enforcement function of major violator teams.
