Within how many days must a licensee report a violent incident to the chief?

• A. 3 days
• B. 7 days
• C. 14 days
• D. 1 day

Answer: (B)

Timely reporting of violent incidents to the chief is required. This rule ensures that the supervising authority stays informed quickly, allowing prompt risk assessment and coordination with law enforcement if needed to protect the public and security personnel. The incident must be reported within seven days, meaning you have a week to file the report after it occurs. That seven-day window balances giving you time to gather initial facts with the need to notify authorities promptly so appropriate action can be taken. Reporting faster than that or waiting much longer would either be impractical in gathering details or delay necessary oversight and response.
