Which organization is cited as providing guidance to private sector businesses on industry-specific and geographic bases, such as active shooter preparedness?

• A. NYPD Shield
• B. DHS
• C. FBI
• D. NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau

Answer: (A)

The situation tests recognizing who provides tailored private-sector security guidance based on industry and location, including active shooter preparedness. NYPD Shield is the NYPD’s public-private partnership that delivers sector- and geography-specific guidance, training, and resources to businesses. It brings together private sector partners with law enforcement to share best practices, conduct risk assessments, and plan for incidents in specific areas and industries. While DHS, FBI, and the NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau offer broader or national-level guidance, NYPD Shield is the program designed for private-sector outreach with industry- and location-specific focus.
