When police request to locate an employee they wish to question or serve with a warrant, security should?

• A. Invite the officer to the employee's location
• B. Ignore the request
• C. Summon the employee to a private area and notify administration
• D. Provide immediate access to personnel records

Answer: (C)

When police need to locate an employee for questioning or to serve a warrant, security should bring the employee to a private area and notify administration. This approach protects the employee’s privacy by avoiding unnecessary disclosure of personal information in public areas, while also keeping the process orderly and under proper supervision. It allows management to verify the request, confirm the officers’ authority, and coordinate with the organization’s legal or human resources team as needed. It also prevents the accidental release of personnel records or other confidential information and ensures that the incident is documented and handled through the proper chain of command.

Inviting officers to an employee’s location can blur boundaries and expose private information. Ignoring the request delays law enforcement and can create liability. Providing immediate access to personnel records is a breach of confidentiality and not appropriate without proper procedures.
