NOT a stated purpose of CQ?

• A. Safety
• B. Security
• C. Accountability
• D. Public relations

Answer: (D)

Charge of Quarters duties are focused on keeping the area secure, safe, and orderly and on maintaining an accurate record of who is present and what happens during the shift. Safety means preventing hazards and ensuring people know how to respond in an emergency. Security covers controlling access and protecting people and property. Accountability involves logging in residents, visitors, and incidents so there’s a clear, traceable record. Public relations isn’t a formal objective of CQ; it’s about maintaining the image or message to the outside, which is handled by other roles such as public affairs. So public relations is not a stated CQ purpose.
