Make yourself visible

It is the responsibility of a great security guard to ensure that he or she is clearly visible to those near the area they are guarding. Most criminals like shoplifters, burglars, muggers, and others would reconsider if they notice a security guard walking on guard duty. This is known as a “visible deterrent.”

Be alert and vigilant

A security guard will be on the lookout for any strange or strange behavior / events that may indicate harm. That is why it is vital that you have a very good sense of smell, as well as excellent hearing and vision. For example, you could smell a chemical leak or burn a wire and know which direction the smell is coming from. It could also detect when something sounds strange or strange. The safety officer uses this knowledge to stay alert and proactive in sight, responding quickly to any emergency situation with proper technique and procedures.

Act quickly in a crisis situation.

A security guard must be constantly on the alert so that they are not caught off guard. She needs to know how to respond effectively to any number of dangerous situations. Whether it is a fire, natural disaster, or terrorist attack, she has the knowledge and experience to handle the situation quickly and without hesitation.

Observe and report

A security guard should continue to observe everything that happens in the area to make sure nothing more is being prepared and to avoid further problems. After a crisis or problem occurs, you should report the details of the incident to your supervisor, the police, or the appropriate authorities. This helps the company understand what happened, protect itself legally, and use this information to help mitigate that it doesn’t happen again in the future.

Follow procedures

Security guards are sometimes expected to follow certain procedures and policies set by their employer, such as searching for visitors before entering a building or denying visitors entry without an appointment. These procedures are well documented and each officer is fully trained on how to execute them with no questions asked.

Maintain order in large meetings.

Security guards are often called in to maintain order at large gatherings, such as political gatherings, religious assemblies, and even parties. This is to keep people and property safe and to avoid disturbances or other dangerous situations.

Receive visitors and guests

If a security guard is stationed at the entrance of a building or event, she is doubling down as a receptionist, as he would be the first to greet visitors and guests. This type of job requires the guard to be approachable, friendly, and willing to help.

Other responsibilities

Security guards are often asked to perform additional duties other than the normal ones for which they were hired. They may be asked to take phone calls, answer emails and text messages, run errands, and other related tasks.
