In the information flow, who receives information directly from the Protectee?

• A. AIC
• B. SL
• C. ADV
• D. PSD

Answer: (A)

In this scenario, the Protectee should have a single, primary point of contact for sharing information. That person is the Agent in Charge. The AIC acts as the main liaison, capturing the Protectee’s needs, concerns, and any changes in plans, and then passing that information into the team’s chain of command so appropriate actions can be taken. This keeps communication clear and organized.

The other roles support different functions and typically receive guidance through the AIC rather than taking information directly from the Protectee. For example, an Advance agent handles pre-event planning, while the Protective Security Detail handles on-site protection under the AIC’s direction, and a Security Liaison coordinates with external parties. But the Protectee’s direct, initial communication goes to the Agent in Charge.
