The vigils were the soldiers assigned to guard the city of Rome, and is often credited to the origin of both security guards and police, although the primary duty was as a fire. There were night watchmen in the Middle Ages in Europe. A special chair appeared in Europe during the late Middle Ages, called the president’s guard, who dropped a spot to advance to prevent the guard fell asleep during his shift.

You walk into a shopping center, a cinema room, or an airport, where they spot them immediately. Armed security guards are the main gate and keep close vigilance for all events. Security guards are everywhere, and today, bearing in mind the increased security concerns, the number is growing.

The security guard at a private employee who is paid to protect the property of the concern, assets or people. Often, the uniformed security guard used to protect property and keeping high vigilance on the illegal and inappropriate actions directly through patrols, or with the help of alarm systems or video signals from crime, fire or disorder, and the steps necessary to report the emergency services and necessary.

Most of the security forces to practice the ‘detect, deter, observe and report’ methodology. Security guards are not required to arrests, but law enforcement agent, acting at the request of the police.

I noticed that the presence of security personnel in combination with effective security procedures, but rather to reduce theft, employee misconduct and safety rule violations or property damage.

Armed security officers are often required to assist law enforcement, while the situation is under control, or the public authority for the site. Apart from the account as a carrier, some security guards, especially young people, use the job as practical experience in applying the use of law enforcement agencies.

There is a big difference between persons and tasks related to guard the people who play a more active role in the protection of persons and property. Was often referred to as a ‘forever’ and taught the mantra ‘observe and report.’ These minimally trained, and are not expected to deal with the public or confront criminals. The latter are often highly trained, armed, and are more likely to influence public opinion and to confront the criminal element. These employees may more proud to be the title as the ’security officer’ or ‘Protection Officer, or even the security guards.

Unfortunately, sometimes there is no correlation between the number of tasks and compensation mall ’security guards’ who are exposed to serious danger, that an hour less than the ‘industrial security guards’ less training and responsibility. Security personnel of the individuals, and therefore required the same laws and regulations as the citizens of their contractual duties, and therefore can not be allowed to represent himself in criminal law enforcement.

Some states represented by security guards and their limited powers, particularly if the worker is public property, such as public transport stations. This is a special case, and often one or local jurisdiction.
