Security Guard (Private)

Security Guard (Private)

A Private Security Guard protects people, property, and assets for businesses, residential communities, and events. They monitor premises, enforce access control, deter criminal activity, and respond to emergencies. Guards may work at retail stores, office buildings, hospitals, or special events. The role requires alertness, strong communication skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. PSIRA registration requirements vary by province, and many positions require background checks and basic training certifications.
