or stated urgency, must present valid identification and log in before gaining entry. Denying
entry while verifying the delivery with administration maintains security without completely
disrupting school operations.

immediate cleanup.

immediate safety barrier while communications are made to resolve the hazard.

the exterior fence to leave the school grounds without permission. Which protocol should the
agent execute first?

the student and direction of travel.
🔴 Explanation: School Safety Agents do not possess the authority to pursue truant students
off school property, nor should they use unnecessary physical force to stop a student from
leaving. Prompt notification allows administration and appropriate units to respond safely.
Question 4
Two students are engaged in a loud verbal argument in the cafeteria, drawing a crowd. No
physical violence has occurred yet. What is the most effective initial de-escalation strategy for
the responding agent?
A. Command both students to remain silent and place them both in mechanical restraints
immediately.
B. Separate the two students visually and physically, and speak to them in a calm, neutral
tone.
C. Scream louder than the students to command their attention and assert dominance.
