News incidents do not include which of the following?

• A. Discussions of internal PBSO policies
• B. Civil and criminal enforcement activities
• C. Public information releases
• D. Media briefings

Answer: (A)

News incidents are items that are shared with the public through the media, focusing on events and information that the public would need to know. Civil and criminal enforcement activities are concrete actions taken by PBSO that get reported to the public. Public information releases are official statements or documents meant to inform people about incidents or responses. Media briefings are organized sessions with reporters to convey updates or explanations to the public.

Discussions of internal PBSO policies are about how the agency should operate and decisions behind the scenes. Those are internal matters, not public-facing news items, so they don’t fit the category of news incidents.
