Personal Security Guard

Personal security guards, also known as body guards, protect people and property from criminal activities and threats. They may escort individuals to and from locations or monitor activity from a stationary position. In order to ensure that an area is safe, they may conduct surveillance or watch closed circuit TV monitors.

Any time criminal activity occurs or a threat is imminent, security guards may contact local law enforcement for assistance. Potential danger is inherent in this occupation, and personal security guards must always be on the alert. Security guards must be in good physical shape to effectively carry out their duties.
