Practice question: Dismissal, Preventive Suspension, Reinstatement

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

In a new 2026 case governed by the 2025 RACCS, a formal charge for grave misconduct is issued. A preventive-suspension order merely repeats that offense but states no substantiated witness-influence or evidence-tampering circumstance. Does the serious label alone satisfy Section 34?
  1. Yes, every grave charge makes preventive suspension automatic.
  2. Yes, if the investigator prefers it.
  3. Yes, because no written justification can ever be required.
  4. No; the qualifying charge and the appropriate substantiated risk justification must concur.
  5. No; preventive suspension is prohibited for every grave offense.
