The Role of a Security Guard
A security guard’s job responsibilities vary depending on the employer’s needs. In retail stores, security guards protect people, records, merchandise, money, and equipment. They may work with undercover store detectives to prevent theft by customers or employees, and detain shoplifting suspects until the police arrive, or patrol parking lots. In office buildings, banks, hotels, and hospitals, security guards maintain order and protect the organization’s customers, staff, and property.
