We’re usually hired to maintain order, control crowds, and offer the presence of safety in the area that we’re guarding.

Our unarmed security guards can also detain individuals who are trespassing or not permitted to be in the areas which we’re guarding; we act as the primary form of defense before police involvement.

This means watching for, reporting, and recording any suspicious activities to prevent criminal activities or other danger. It also includes writing and submitting accurate reports of incidents or observations for any police forces that have to be notified in an emergency situation.

Our guards also maintain order in stores, settling arguments between customers and preventing any issues from becoming physical. This is not an overly common need; however, it’s frequent on larger shopping days, such as annual sales or Black Friday sales.

This assists in preventing threats, pinpointing crime, and identifying potential dangers.

Our cruise ship security guards are a special kind of security team. We have a few unique duties to fulfill that other types of security guards don’t typically handle. Cruise ships have large amounts of luggage and personal items on board, particularly on the docking and boarding areas.

Our security guards are in place when individuals boarding a cruise ship check their luggage and other items onto the ship; this ensures that there aren’t any dangerous items present and that no theft takes place while the luggage is boarded.

What Do Cruise Ship Security Guards Do?

We scan passports, licenses, and port identification cards for those leaving or returning to the cruise ship at porting locations. Our security guards also control the access points for guests on the ship, making certain that guests are not in the captain’s quarters or in control rooms that have limited access.

A team of cruise ship security guards also regularly check all premises of the ship, which includes recording a nighttime log of activities to report to the captain at the end of each night patrol shift.

As cruise ships tend to have below-deck and poolside bars, our security officers also patrol for drunk passengers, as well as run illegal drug or alcohol checks at the ship’s captain orders. This could also include performing regular or random cabin checks for illegal or dangerous items that could compromise the safety of the ship’s passengers.

Our cruise ship security officers are required to know how to locate and operate all safety precautions for a large ship, as well as undergo proper training in the event of an emergency.

Schools and college campuses are no exception, and there’s a highly involved security presence in these areas. It gives peace of mind to administration, teachers, professors, parents, and students.

Our school and college campus security guards typically patrol both on foot and in vehicles; however, this is dependent upon the size of the campus itself. Our first goal is to protect the welfare and increase the safety of students and faculty by encouraging proper behaviors and putting an end to illegal or dangerous activities.

What Does a Campus Security Guard Do?

Our security guards maintain radio contact with their base and with other guards, as well as monitor video footage of the campus to identify threats or catch those who instigate trouble. For larger schools and college campuses, our security guards secure buildings and offer emergency assistance for building access.

Our campus security also monitors on-campus traffic, write reports for any accidents, oversee parking restrictions, and ticketing speeders. However, one of the more unique duties of our school and college campus security guards is the development of emergency plans. We create, implement, and execute highly specific emergency protocol in the event of a situation to minimize damage, threats, and danger to the people on campus.

Our event security guards particularly control rowdy and loud crowds. Although there are some duties that are event-specific, the majority of parties have at least some form of security guards to keep the environment safe while still allowing the party to be enjoyable.

What Our Event Security Guards Do

Security guards for parties and other events are usually placed at all entrances and exits to the event space. Our security guards also keep an eye on the event or party to ensure that rules are followed and party goers are acting in a safe and responsible manner.

If VIPs are in attendance at the event being guarded, security guards can be escorts to and from the party to deflect attention that could cause danger. A high-profile event could also be closely watched using security cameras, which guards monitor from a separate room or location. Security guards could also maintain order during an party or event by:

• Directing people to the proper location
• Watching and reporting any dangerous or suspicious activity
• Escort people out if they’ve drank too much alcohol

Should any disturbances arise at the party, our security guards are responsible for suppressing them and handling the aftermath to maintain the safety for all party attendees.
