Question: 1 / 50

When giving testimony in court a security guard may, with permission

Read details directly from their incident report for accuracy

Refer to their notes only to refresh memory

When giving testimony in court, it is important for a security guard to only refer to their notes to refresh their memory. Reading directly from an incident report may not be allowed as it might be seen as using a written statement as testimony. Additionally, reading from a notebook may appear as though the security guard is attempting to carefully craft their testimony. Therefore, option A and C are incorrect because they could potentially interfere with the guard's credibility. Option D is incorrect because a security guard should still refer to their notes to accurately recall events, with permission from the court.
