Access Control and Security Procedures

Security guards are often in charge of controlling access to people and private properties, such as with security clearances for verified individuals. The procedures for access control apply to all vehicles and visitors that want to gain access to a building or facility. Along with access control, security guards are also trained in how to perform security procedures, including informing visitors of security compliance related to carried weapons.

Monitoring Alarm and Surveillance Systems

A security guard is also responsible for monitoring various systems that are used to detect suspicious activity. CCTV surveillance systems are continually monitored by security guards so that a guard can be dispatched to investigate suspicious activity as soon as it is detected. Some places of business will also have security alarms that will need to be monitored.

Detecting and Documenting Suspicious Activities

One of the main duties of a security guard is to detect suspicious activity. Foot and vehicle patrols are combined with video surveillance to identify any suspicious individuals on the property as well as any evidence of suspicious activity, such as a broken window. Security guards are required to document suspicious activity and report these potential security breaches to law enforcement.
