If an intruder is not authorized in the area, to whom should the guard report the intruder?

• A. The guard on duty
• B. The principal
• C. Commander of the Relief
• D. The teacher

Answer: (C)

In this situation, the guard should escalate the incident through the chain of command to the person who oversees the current relief. The Commander of the Relief is the supervisor responsible for coordinating the post’s response, directing others, and deciding what actions to take, such as isolating the area, detaining the intruder if safe, and contacting additional authorities or administrators as needed. This ensures a clear, organized reaction rather than bypassing the established structure. The principal or a teacher may be involved later, but they are not the first point of contact for a security incident, and the guard on duty is the one who identifies the issue but should not be the handler of the escalation.
