In the event of a robbery, is your primary action to press the alarm before the robber leaves?

• A. Yes, before the robber leaves
• B. Only if safe
• C. It should be done by another employee
• D. No, it is after

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that safety comes first during a robbery. You should not try to trigger an alarm while the robber is still inside or before they leave, because doing so can escalate the danger for you and others. The priority is to stay safe, comply if needed, and move to a secure location. Once you’re safe or the immediate threat has passed and the robber has left, you can raise the alarm to summon help and preserve evidence. That’s why the best answer is to handle the alarm after the situation has neutralized.
