This relationship ensures that your security needs are met on a consistent and continual basis. SECURITY GUARDS, also called Security Officers, protect industrial or commercial property against fire, theft, vandalism, and illegal entry. They protect and control entry to industrial, commercial, and, sometimes, residential property. The duties depend on the client’s needs. Duties may include operating and monitoring alarm and closed-circuit television systems, receiving visitors and giving information. They may also take action in emergency situations such as illness, safety hazards, or other unusual situations. The main responsibilities of the guard are to observe and report. These duties may involve observing from a distance while on a walking patrol, while driving a patrol car, or by closed-circuit television. When they make their rounds, Guards may check windows, doors, and keep aware of unauthorized individuals in an area. Other tasks may include making sure that electrical and plumbing systems, alarms, and sprinkler systems are on or working properly. It's common for Guards to keep in radio contact with other Guards patrolling on foot or in cars. Guards may have to search the area thoroughly when anything unusual is noticed. A patrol area could be a large refinery or a small office building lobby. Anything unusual or any potential problem is noted and reported to the proper authority: police, fire department, building office, etc. Written reports are usually filed after action has been taken to correct the situation. Some Guards now use computers to store security information, including suspicious happenings and names of visitors. Guards also control crowd’s at large gatherings, watch for shoplifters, and guard the pick-up and delivery of valuables. Some guards carry weapons such as guns or nightsticks, but they aren't encouraged to use them. For some employers, guards drive and protect armored trucks carrying money or other valuables. Most of the work, though, is in long-term jobs at specific locations. Regular reports are made of routine activities, including a written summary at the end of each shift. Some guards work alone and at night in far off locations, while others work with other officers during the day. Security Guards may be stationed at factory gates, building lobbies, shopping centers, television stations, apartment/condominium complexes, construction sites, hospitals, museums, or parking lots.
