What is the next step after an Alarm Custodian properly authenticates during a MANNED unannounced alarm activation?

• A. Disarm the alarm and document the event
• B. Get a detailed description of the Alarm Custodian and instruct them to exit the facility to make contact with a patrol
• C. Remain on site and monitor remotely
• D. Notify headquarters and wait for backup

Answer: (B)

Focus is on coordinating a safe, controlled handoff with responding personnel. After the Alarm Custodian properly authenticates during a manned unannounced activation, the immediate priority is to verify who is on site and then establish contact with the patrol. Getting a detailed description of the Alarm Custodian helps responders confirm identity and prevent impersonation. Instructing the custodian to exit the facility to make contact with a patrol ensures the person is in a safe position while the patrol arrives, takes charge, and conducts verification and scene assessment. This minimizes risk to personnel and keeps the response organized. Disarming immediately, staying on site to monitor alone, or delaying contact with patrol would undermine safety and coordination, so the described step is the appropriate next move.
