Which of the following are examples of questions that WOULD NOT need to be answered in an incident report/notebook?

  1. Was there any damage to people/property?

  2. Where did the incident occur?

  3. Who was involved?

  4. What the appropriate ban length should be for the trespassing infraction committed?

The correct answer is: What the appropriate ban length should be for the trespassing infraction committed?

An incident report or notebook for a security guard in Ontario is designed to document the specifics of an occurrence or disturbance. This includes information like who was involved, where it happened, and if any people or property were harmed. Option D, "What the appropriate ban length should be for the trespassing infraction committed?", does not belong in an incident report because it is not the security guard's role to decide or even suggest the punishment for an offense. This is typically a decision made by management, or possibly law enforcement, based upon the details provided in the report and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The role of a security guard is to document the facts and details of the event, not to determine the appropriate actions or punishment to be taken. Therefore, this type of judgment or recommendation would not be necessary in an incident report.
