In which situations are PSOs expected to assist law enforcement?

Protective Security Officers (PSOs) are specifically trained to respond to a variety of situations where safety and security are paramount. During emergency situations, PSOs play a critical role in assisting law enforcement by helping to manage the scene, ensuring the safety of individuals, providing support during evacuations, and maintaining order until law enforcement personnel can take over. Their training enables them to recognize the signs of potential emergencies, which require immediate action and collaboration with law enforcement agencies.

In contrast, the other options do not typically involve a direct requirement for PSOs to assist law enforcement. Financial audits are administrative tasks that do not necessitate law enforcement involvement, employee interviews are part of human resources processes, and organizing public events usually involves logistical coordination and crowd management rather than direct assistance to law enforcement unless a specific security threat is present. Therefore, the expectation for PSOs to assist law enforcement aligns specifically with emergency situations where their skills and authority become crucial in supporting law enforcement efforts.
