PBSO #0076 corresponds to which disciplinary action?

• A. Verbal Counseling
• B. Written Reprimand
• C. Remedial Training
• D. Suspension

Answer: (B)

Disciplinary actions move from informal to formal, with a Written Reprimand representing a formal warning documented in the officer’s file. It signals an identified misconduct or performance shortcoming and the need for improvement, serving as a formal step beyond a simple conversation but not as severe as loss of duty or mandatory training. Verbal counseling is just a one-time discussion with no formal record, remedial training targets specific skill or knowledge gaps, and suspension removes the officer from duty for a period. Since this code maps to a formal written warning, the Written Reprimand is the appropriate action.
