The three primary job functions of a security guard are:
- Protect people and property – Keep customers, employees, and assets safe from harm, theft, or damage.
- Prevent crime – Deter theft, vandalism, and other illegal activities through visible presence and monitoring.
- Respond to incidents – Handle emergencies, disturbances, and suspicious situations and report them properly.
In simple terms, a security guard’s job is to prevent problems, keep people safe, and act quickly when something goes wrong.
