What is the appropriate response to suspicious behavior or security concerns?

• A. Ignore it
• B. Report to security, follow the park's security protocol, and avoid direct confrontation
• C. Confront the person immediately
• D. Notify a supervisor after shift ends

Answer: (B)

When something seems off or suspicious, the safest and most effective approach is to report it to security, follow the park's security protocol, and avoid direct confrontation. This mindset keeps guests and staff protected because trained security personnel know how to assess potential threats and respond appropriately without putting you at risk.

Reporting promptly gives security the chance to observe, verify, and document the situation, coordinating any necessary actions or authorities if needed. Following the established protocol provides you with clear steps—what information to share, where to go, who to contact, and how to relay details—so your actions are consistent and helpful. Avoiding direct confrontation matters because approaching the person can escalate tension, put you in harm’s way, or interfere with the responders who are trained to handle security incidents.

Ignoring the behavior delays help and could allow a situation to worsen. Confronting someone on your own can lead to unintended consequences. Waiting until after your shift means the issue isn’t being addressed where it’s most relevant and can miss an opportunity to prevent harm.
