Who signs the AAAL?

• A. Commander/ESS signatures
• B. Building custodian and security
• C. Commander only
• D. ESS only

Answer: (A)

The sign-off on the AAAL requires dual verification by leadership and the on-site security representative. This pairing ensures accountability and proper review of alarm actions. The commander signs to provide authority and overall accountability for how alarms are handled and documented. The ESS signs to confirm that the on-site security perspective has reviewed the events and that the actions taken are accurate and complete.

Relying on just one party misses an essential check: without the commander, there’s no clear command oversight, and without the ESS, the on-site security perspective isn’t verified. A building custodian and security don’t carry the required authority or the formal security-review role for this document, so they aren’t appropriate signatories.
