Former police officer here: our "workstation" was frequently "our vehicle"; and the best way to solve the issue in question often was "have a key fob auto lock the vehicle when fob goes too far away from vehicle". I understand that's not the question here, but I figured y'all would like a practical opinion. Yes, I'm aware that this would require the vehicle to use a fob; but this isn't the 70's anymore.

If a police officer often leaves a workstation for several minutes at a time, the best way to secure the workstation quickly when walking away is to use a key combination to lock the computer. This will prevent unauthorized access to the computer while the officer is away . Ensuring no unauthorized personnel are in the area is not a practical solution as it is difficult to control who enters the area. Configuring a screensaver to lock the computer automatically after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity is a good security practice, but it is not the best solution to the problem described in the question. Turning off the monitor to prevent unauthorized visibility of information is also not a practical solution as it does not prevent unauthorized access to the computer. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Use a key combination to lock the computer when leaving.

Press the Ctrl + Alt + Del These days, this three-key shortcut can perform a number of tasks, one of which is to lock Windows. Ctrl + Alt + Del should all be pressed simultaneously. Options should show on a screen

It would probably work, because it gives the illusion the computer is off, but it definitely is not secure.

Because anyone else who comes along could just turn on the monitor, the monitor requires no password to turn back on.

Answer stated is correct. I assume its the something similar in other OS's but on windows you can just hit WinKey+L to quickly lock your screen.
