The correct answer is: Immediately notify your supervisor of your location and the nature of the breach

When you observe a security breach while on routine patrol of a site, the first action you should take is to immediately notify your supervisor of your location and the nature of the breach. This is because security breaches maybe serious, potentially harm individuals or cause severe property damage. It's crucial to inform the supervisor who is equipped with the knowledge and authority to decide how to manage the situation, which may include informing law enforcement or engaging other emergency responses if necessary. In this way, a prompt and appropriate response to the security breach can be ensured. It is not recommended to take individual action such as searching the building or getting engaged in other activities without proper instructions.
