A security guard is responsible for protecting property and people. They maintain a visible presence to deter illegal activities and observe for signs of crime or disorder, taking action and reporting incidents. Security guards are usually privately employed and often uniformed. Their duties include patrolling premises, monitoring alarms, investigating disturbances, writing reports, and calling emergency services if needed. They work to prevent theft and ensure security.

person who is paid to protect property, assets, or
people. Security guards are usually privately and

illegal and inappropriate actions, observing
(either directly, through patrols, or by
watching alarm systems or video cameras) for
signs of crime, fire or disorder; then taking action
and reporting any incidents to their client
and emergency services as appropriate.
