Question: A security guard receives an anonymous tip suggesting that certain individuals in a high-traffic public area are being unfairly targeted for security checks based on their perceived ethnicity. How should the guard respond, according to principles of bias and discrimination?

Answer options: ✅ Initiate an objective investigation to ascertain facts and report findings to a supervisor, ensuring all actions are unbiased.

• Increase security surveillance on the reported ethnic group to verify the tip's accuracy.
• Disregard the tip as it is anonymous and could be baseless.
• Confront the alleged discriminators directly and demand an explanation.

Correct answer: Initiate an objective investigation to ascertain facts and report findings to a supervisor, ensuring all actions are unbiased.
