Who sets the pace of the motorcade?

• A. Brig Duty Officer
• B. Limo driver
• C. Command Criminal Investigator
• D. Correctional counselors

Answer: (B)

In a motorcade, the pace is controlled by the lead vehicle’s driver—the limo driver. This person is responsible for how fast or slow the convoy moves, adjusting speed for road conditions, traffic, and the security plan to keep a safe following distance while ensuring timely arrival. They stay in touch with the security lead and make real-time decisions about acceleration, braking, and stops based on the overall plan and conditions. The other roles listed aren’t responsible for driving the lead vehicle or setting the convoy’s speed, since their duties are supervisory, investigative, or support-oriented rather than operational driving.
