Under what condition should BDOC notify OSI?

Under what condition should BDOC notify OSI?

• A. If case falls within their purview.
• B. Only after a court order.
• C. When the area is evacuated.
• D. When the OSI requests.

Answer: (A)

When a situation sits within OSI’s investigative authority, BDOC should bring OSI into the case. BDOC’s job is to monitor incidents and determine which ones require investigative follow-up, so if the nature of the incident falls under OSI’s jurisdiction—crimes or security investigations involving personnel on the installation—mentally the signal to escalate is when that boundary is reached. Not every incident needs OSI, and you don’t wait for a court order or evacuation to trigger it; you initiate contact so OSI can assess, preserve evidence, and start the proper investigative process. Waiting for OSI to request involvement is also not the standard, proactive path—when OSI’s purview applies, BDOC should notify them promptly.
