Which flight attendant should be notified about LEOs, FAMs, or FFDOs onboard?

• A. FWD
• B. AFT
• C. LAV
• D. GALLEY

Answer: (B)

When a law enforcement officer or security-trained crewmember is aboard, there should be one clear point of contact in the cabin who handles notifying the flight deck. The aft flight attendant is that designated liaison. Being in the rear makes them best positioned to observe the whole cabin, coordinate with the pilots, and communicate efficiently with any LEOs, FAMs, or FFDOs without pulling the entire front-of-cabin crew into the decision-making process. This setup keeps communication organized and minimizes disruption to normal operations in the front of the aircraft. Notifications to people in the lavatory, galley, or the forward section aren’t practical for rapid, centralized coordination, so the aft flight attendant is the correct contact.
