In unincorporated areas, the security staffing requirement equates to one officer per occupancy level of how many occupants?

• A. 2 occupants
• B. 4 occupants
• C. 6 occupants
• D. 8 occupants

Answer: (B)

The staffing rule tested here uses a straightforward ratio: one officer is assigned for every four occupants at a given occupancy level. This keeps guard visibility and control proportional to how many people are in the space, ensuring there’s enough coverage to monitor entrances, deter issues, and respond effectively without overstaffing smaller sites. So the occupancy level that aligns with this standard is four occupants, making that option the best fit. In practice, if there were more occupants, you’d scale up accordingly, but four is the baseline that matches the rule described.
