Saskatchewan Security Guard License Practice Exam

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

1. Patrolling

2. Enforcing laws

3. Investigating crimes

4. Providing assistance during emergencies

The correct answer is: Investigating crimes

A security guard's primary responsibilities include patrolling designated areas, enforcing laws and regulations relevant to their post, and providing assistance during emergencies. However, investigating crimes typically falls outside the scope of a security guard's duties. While security personnel may be involved in reporting incidents and observing suspicious behavior, the investigation itself is generally handled by law enforcement agencies or trained investigators. Security guards focus more on prevention and maintaining safety rather than conducting in-depth investigations of criminal activity.
