Outside agencies cannot participate in entries or arrests without approval of supervisor in charge, but may participate in ?

• A. Arrests only
• B. Searches and interviews
• C. Property seizures
• D. Forensics analysis

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that when outside agencies are brought into a case, the supervisor in charge must approve certain activities, while others can be done in coordination. Entries into a location and making an arrest are high-stakes actions that require direct authorization to involve outside personnel, because they carry legal and safety risks and demand clear command and jurisdiction control.

Outside agencies may participate in searches and interviews because these tasks are primarily about information gathering and evidence collection, and they can be coordinated under the supervising authority. This allows the team to leverage additional resources or specialized skills without relinquishing command during more sensitive actions.
