Which of the following is not part of the six core steps containing evidence?

  1. Secure

  2. Log

  3. Discard

  4. Preserve

The correct answer is: Discard

In the context of the Ontario Security Guard License Practice Test, the evidence management procedure involves six core steps - Identify, Secure, Protect, Log, Preserve and Present. 'Discard' is not a part of these steps. - Identify: This is where security personnel recognizes or discovers evidence. - Secure: This step involves ensuring the evidence is not accessible to unauthorized individuals, which could alter its condition or value. - Protect: Here, the integrity and condition of the evidence is preserved. - Log: This is where the evidence is recorded or documented with detail description. - Preserve: In this stage, the evidence is kept safe under appropriate conditions to maintain its integrity for future use. - Present: At this stage, the evidence is presented in proper legal circumstances. 'Discard' does not fit within these steps as it indicates disposal of the evidence which contradicts the main objective of preservation and presentation of evidence in its initial condition for legal use.
