An important part of the security officer's duties when a crime has been committed include?

• A. Public Relations Announcements
• B. Budget Review
• C. Personal Interviews And Investigations
• D. Cleaning Procedures

Answer: (C)

When a crime has been committed, a key duty of the security officer is to conduct personal interviews and investigations. This means talking with witnesses, collecting and documenting what happened, preserving potential evidence, and coordinating with law enforcement or the investigation team. Public relations announcements can inadvertently reveal information and hinder the case, so they’re not part of the immediate response. Budget review is unrelated to incident handling, and cleaning procedures should not disturb evidence or the crime scene until investigators have given the go-ahead.
