Which of the following is NOT part of the three-part EP security concept?

• A. Increase public visibility
• B. Keep a low profile
• C. Stay away from problem areas and situations
• D. Know what to do if trouble arises

Answer: (A)

In EP security, the approach focuses on reducing your exposure to risk: stay discreet, avoid risky environments, and be prepared to respond effectively if trouble arises. Increasing public visibility runs counter to that mindset because more visibility can draw unwanted attention and potentially escalate threats rather than deter or reduce them.

Keeping a low profile fits perfectly because it minimizes the signals you’re sending and makes you a less tempting target. Staying away from problem areas and situations is all about prevention—less contact with trouble equals lower risk. Knowing what to do if trouble arises is about preparation and a quick, planned response to maintain safety.

So, the statement about increasing public visibility is not aligned with the three-part protective approach, which is why it’s the correct choice.
