Which item should always be in your pocket?

• A. A flashlight
• B. Silver colored pen, a small notebook, any dept issued info cards (codes/signals, etc.)
• C. A spare key
• D. A water bottle

Answer: (B)

Carrying tools that let you document what you observe and communicate using standardized campus codes is essential for everyday safety and proper response. The silver pen lets you jot down details quickly, the small notebook keeps a compact log of times, locations, and people, and the department issued info cards give you instant access to the codes and signals you’re expected to know and use. Together, these items ensure you can record what happens and respond in line with college procedures, no matter the situation. While a flashlight, spare key, or water bottle can be handy in many scenarios, they don’t universally support the core need to document information and follow established campus communication protocols.
