Which of the following is considered a security error that could endanger a Detention Deputy?

• A. All of the above.
• B. Not locking doors that have locks on them.
• C. Not keeping track of inmate discipline issued and reports.
• D. Allowing inmates to walk behind you.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing actions that compromise safety in a detention setting. Leaving doors that have locks unsecured creates a direct opportunity for unauthorized movement or escape. Not tracking inmate discipline issued and reports removes accountability and can hide escalating risks or patterns that staff need to manage. Allowing inmates to walk behind you reduces your control of the immediate environment and increases the chances of being grabbed, manipulated, or suddenly surprised. When these risks are combined, they represent several clear security errors that could endanger a deputy. That’s why all of the above are considered security errors.
