A security guard is a person employed to protect property, assets, and individuals. They monitor premises to prevent theft, vandalism, and other illegal activities. Security guards often work in various settings, including shopping malls, office buildings, and events, ensuring safety and order. In addition to surveillance, security guards may check identification, conduct patrols, and respond to emergencies. They often collaborate with local law enforcement, such as the police, to report incidents and maintain a secure environment. Their presence can deter criminal behavior and provide peace of mind to the public and businesses.
