Explanation
When an unauthorized individual (tailgater/piggybacker) forcibly enters a secured area, the IT staff member's immediate next step is to alert the trained physical security team with a description of the intruder. Physical security personnel are trained to handle such situations safely and have the authority to detain or remove unauthorized individuals. Chasing the individual (C) is dangerous and outside the IT staff member's role. Calling police (A) may be needed eventually but the onsite security team responds faster and is the proper first escalation. The forensics team (B) is only relevant after the incident is contained.
