Security Guarding

Introduction
The role of the Security Guard is an ever evolving role with a corresponding increase in complexity and responsibility. The risk of criminal attack, terrorism or general emergency situations has placed an increasing demand on the security sector. Personnel now need to be trained in a wide variety of disciplines to meet the current challenges. This role equally applies to the public and private sectors where the Security Guard operates, and the need to have basic training with the opportunity of further development has never been more important.

Correctly trained personnel can have the positive effect on reducing loss through criminal activity or hazardous risks. The role of the security guard is to protect people, property and premises.
