If more than one armed peace officer is on board and another one requests anonymity, what would the cabin crew disclose?

• A. There is another peace officer on board
• B. The exact number of peace officers on board
• C. None would be disclosed
• D. Only the lead officer would be notified

Answer: (A)

The situation tests handling security information while respecting a request for anonymity. When more than one armed peace officer is aboard and one asks not to be named, the crew should acknowledge the presence of at least one other peace officer on board. This provides essential situational awareness and coordination for the crew and authorities without exposing identities or exact numbers. Revealing the exact count would violate the anonymity request, while claiming none is disclosed or only informing the lead officer would hinder proper coordination and safety. By stating that there is another peace officer on board, the crew communicates enough to keep operations secure yet protects individual privacy.
