Identify, verify & safety
Start with observation and a respectful plan. Identify the person’s location, behavior, stated purpose, and immediate risk. Verify authorization through approved channels; do not rely on appearance, rumor, or a badge viewed from a distance.
FIELD PRACTICE
For trespass-response work, verify the boundary and authorization, use calm lawful contact, create distance when needed, escalate unclear authority, and document statements and outcomes.
Use a concrete field example from the course domain without including unnecessary personal data.
FIELD CHECK
• Separate verified facts from reports, assumptions, and recommendations.
• Preserve safety, privacy, evidence, and a clear handoff.
• Escalate unresolved risk through the designated channel and record who was notified.
