When must BDOC notify OSI?

• A. If case falls within their purview.
• B. Only after a court order.
• C. When the area is evacuated.
• D. When a handbook instructs.

Answer: (A)

BDOC should notify OSI whenever the incident or case falls under OSI’s responsibility. This means the situation involves potential criminal activity, security violations, espionage, or other matters that OSI is tasked to investigate. The key idea is jurisdiction and responsibility—send the alert so the proper investigators can take over, preserve investigative integrity, and ensure the case is handled by the right authority. It isn’t dependent on a court order, an evacuation, or a handbook instruction; those may guide procedures in specific contexts, but the trigger for notification is that the case is within OSI’s purview.
