Who should be informed when a robbery has been committed, once it is safe?

When a robbery has been committed, it is crucial to promptly inform the security forces after ensuring that it is safe to do so. The primary role of security forces is to maintain law and order on the installation, respond to incidents, and conduct investigations into crimes. They are trained to handle such situations and have the authority to take appropriate action, which may include securing the scene, gathering evidence, and pursuing suspects.

This immediate reporting helps ensure that the incident is documented properly and that any necessary security measures are enacted to prevent further criminal activity. Reporting to security forces also initiates the process of incident investigation, which is essential for both legal and operational reasons. The other options, though relevant in various contexts, do not have the same urgent operational role in responding to a robbery. The installation commander may need to be informed later for broader implications, and the finance officer or activity manager would typically be involved at a later stage regarding financial losses or recovery procedures.
