What is a security guard?

Security guards are professionals responsible for protecting property, assets, and people by maintaining a safe and secure environment. They may monitor surveillance equipment, patrol premises, check credentials, and respond to emergencies or incidents on-site. Security guards can work in a variety of settings, including businesses, schools, hospitals, and events, and often serve as a visible deterrent to crime or unauthorized activity. Their duties may also include reporting suspicious behavior and working closely with law enforcement when needed.
