What is the CAP motto?

• A. Semper Vigilans
• B. Carpe Diem
• C. Audentes Fortuna
• D. Veni Vidi Vici

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is recognizing CAP’s official guiding phrase and what it conveys about how members approach their work. Semper Vigilans translates to Always Vigilant, which lines up with CAP’s emphasis on constant readiness, safety, and service. This mindset shapes training, readiness for emergencies, and disciplined, proactive action when communities need help. The other phrases don’t fit CAP’s mission: Carpe Diem means Seize the Day, which emphasizes seizing opportunities rather than maintaining ongoing vigilance; a shortened form of a motto about bold fortune is not about watchfulness; and Veni Vidi Vici is a conqueror’s boast, unrelated to public safety and service.
