If a cadet is arrested or has contact with law enforcement, what must they do?

• A. Inform their agency and notify the class supervisor.
• B. Inform the class supervisor only.
• C. Inform the agency, or if self-sponsored, notify the class supervisor.
• D. Do nothing until the next formation.

Answer: (C)

When a cadet is arrested or comes into contact with law enforcement, the obligation is to report to the appropriate authority based on sponsorship status. If you’re part of an agency-sponsored program, you must inform the agency about the incident. If you’re self-sponsored, you should notify the class supervisor. This ensures the proper chain of command handles the situation and that the right people are informed to provide guidance and enforce policy. Notifying only the class supervisor would leave agency-sponsored cadets without the required agency notification, and doing nothing is not permissible. Notifying both in every case isn’t necessary given the sponsor-based reporting path.
