Why should there be delay at all?
Because the BDO is immediately suspicious of someone who prefers not to answer questions posed by someone with no legal authority. Or, more likely, you have just dissed that 'authority' and the BDO is going to make you pay.

I haven't seen the content of the BDO training (obviously), but I can make an educated guess as to much of what's in it. In a word; fluff. Discredited and ineffective fluff. You cannot teach behavioral assessment in 4 days, or 7 days or 4 months or whatever. And those without an innate aptitude for it cannot be taught at all.

But carry on Keeping Us All SafeŠ.
