Georgia Security Guard License Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT a duty of a security guard?

1. Monitoring surveillance equipment

2. Managing emergency evacuations

3. Conducting undercover investigations

4. Providing reports on incidents

The correct answer is: Conducting undercover investigations

Conducting undercover investigations is typically not a duty of a security guard in the sense that security guards are primarily tasked with maintaining safety and security in a visible and proactive manner. Their main responsibilities often revolve around observing and reporting, monitoring equipment, managing emergencies, and documenting incidents to ensure a safe environment. While some security roles may involve investigative work, such as loss prevention in retail settings, this is not standard for all security guard positions and is often outside the scope of what is generally expected of a security guard. Thus, the emphasis on visible deterrence and immediate response to incidents differentiates the primary duties of security guards from more covert investigative roles.
