Which scenario is a valid trigger for initiating Stop-Check-Pass?

• A. Anti-robbery alert, duress, gate runner, or directed by flight sergeant or higher
• B. Routine weather check
• C. Payroll audits
• D. Routine road maintenance

Answer: (A)

Stop-Check-Pass is triggered by security-risk indicators or authoritative orders that require immediate halt and verification of approaching personnel or vehicles. An anti-robbery alert signals an ongoing or imminent threat to property, so stopping to verify identities, inspect, and coordinate a response is essential. A duress signal indicates someone is under pressure or in danger, prompting security to secure the area and ensure safe passage for non-threat individuals while addressing the risk. A gate runner represents someone attempting to bypass the checkpoint, which demands an immediate stop and thorough assessment to prevent unauthorized access. A directive from a flight sergeant or higher provides formal authority to suspend normal flow and conduct checks, ensuring a controlled, rapid response under threat or operational conditions. These scenarios are about real or potential risk or explicit orders, so they justify stopping and checking people or vehicles. By contrast, routine weather checks, payroll audits, or routine road maintenance are administrative tasks that do not by themselves indicate a security threat and thus do not serve as triggers for Stop-Check-Pass.
