How can you recognize a CAEP sign or indicator at an entry point?

• A. Visible security signage and badge readers; verify badges on entry
• B. A bright light near the door
• C. A bell that rings upon entry
• D. A camera hidden in a planter

Answer: (A)

CAEP recognition hinges on visible access-control features. A genuine CAEP shows posted signage designating it as a controlled entry point and has a badge reader or other credential-verification equipment at the door. You should present and verify your badge as you enter, ensuring it is valid and that authorization is confirmed before you proceed. This combination of clear signs and an active entry-control device is what distinguishes a CAEP. Other indicators don’t reliably signal a CAEP. A bright light doesn’t confirm access control, a bell alone doesn’t verify credentials, and a hidden camera isn’t an approved, visible CAEP indicator and could signal improper surveillance rather than authorized entry controls.
