Security guards, also called security officers, patrol and inspect property, to protect against fire,

investment, enforce laws on the property, and deter criminal activity, and other problems. They
use radio and telephone communications to call for assistance from police, fire or emergency

their observations and activities during their shift. They also may interview witnesses or victims,
prepare case reports, and testify in court.
Roles and Responsibilities of Security Officers correct answers Although all security officers
perform many of the same duties, their specific tasks depend on whether they are work in a

monitor alarms and closed circuit TV cameras. In contrast, security officers assigned to a mobile
patrol drive or walk from one location to another and conduct security checks within an assigned
geographical zone. They may detain or arrest criminal violators, answer service calls concerning
criminal activity or problems.
