What is the role of a probationary School Safety Agent?

• A. Call 911, give your location, identify yourself, details, describe your clothing, remain at scene if possible
• B. Evacuate immediately
• C. Wait for orders
• D. Issue citations

Answer: (A)

In an emergency, the first priority is to quickly get professional help on the way and pass along clear information so responders can act fast. A probationary School Safety Agent should immediately call 911, provide the exact location, identify themselves, share what happened with as many details as possible, describe what they are wearing, and stay at the scene if it’s safe to do so. This sequence ensures dispatch can locate the agent, verify authority, and understand what's unfolding, while the agent remains a reliable point of contact for ongoing updates.

Calling 911 without providing location and details delays help, and staying silent until told what to do stalls critical coordination. Evacuating immediately or waiting for orders can hinder the response, and issuing citations isn’t relevant for handling an active incident. The emphasis here is on rapid communication and situational awareness to protect people and support responders.
