What is the role of a manned security guard?

In today's world, the need for reliable security is more critical than ever. Whether it's a residential property, a commercial enterprise or a construction site, ensuring the safety of people, property and possessions is paramount. This is where manned security guards play a crucial role. But what exactly does their role entail?

Key responsibilities of manned security guards

Deterrence of crime

A visible security presence is one of the most effective deterrents against criminal activities. Manned security guards act as a powerful deterrent to potential criminals, making them think twice before attempting any illicit activities.

Access control

One of the primary duties of a security guard is to manage and control access to a property. This involves monitoring entry and exit points, verifying the credentials of visitors and ensuring that only authorised individuals gain access.

Surveillance and patrolling

Regular patrolling of the premises is essential for maintaining security. Guards are responsible for monitoring surveillance systems, conducting foot patrols and keeping an eye out for any suspicious activities or potential security breaches.

Emergency response

In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, medical situation or security breach, manned security guards are trained to respond swiftly and efficiently. They are often the first point of contact, ensuring that appropriate emergency services are notified and managing the situation until they arrive.

Conflict resolution

Managing conflicts and de-escalating aggressive behaviour is another crucial responsibility. Security guards are trained to handle confrontations calmly and professionally, ensuring that situations do not escalate and are resolved quickly.

Incident reporting

Detailed and accurate reporting of incidents is vital for maintaining security records and taking corrective actions. Security guards are responsible for documenting any security breaches, incidents or suspicious activities, providing a clear record for future reference.
