Which of the following is NOT part of the Central Control responsibilities during incidents?

• A. Monitor security systems during incidents.
• B. Conduct routine detainee interviews.
• C. Manage communications during incidents.
• D. Coordinate notifications during incidents.

Answer: (B)

Central Control during incidents acts as the facility’s command hub, keeping a clear picture of what’s happening and ensuring information flows smoothly. Its main duties are monitoring security systems to detect and track events, managing communications so staff receive accurate, timely updates, and coordinating notifications to supervisors, other shifts, and any outside responders. Conducting routine detainee interviews isn’t part of that function. Interviews are handled by housing unit staff or investigative personnel once the situation is stabilized and safety and evidence integrity can be maintained. So, while monitoring, communications, and notifications are essential roles for Central Control, routine detainee interviews belong to other teams after the incident is under control.
