5 Qualities of A Great Security Guard

2
Introduction
Becoming a security guard is not something that
any body can do. It requires some specific skills
and abilities to enable him to perform at his
best. There are several qualities a security
guard must possess in order to protect and save
peoples lives, property, money and other
belongings from criminals.

3
Preparedness
A security guard must have the ability of being
fully prepared for anything that could happen.
Even the unimaginable things must be expected to
happen by a security guard. It makes them stand
on their toes so that they can act accordingly.
It will minimize the time taken to take the
appropriate action.

4
Honesty
This is one quality that is the most basic
personality trait for a security guard. His whole
career depends on honesty. If a security guard is
dishonest, no one would trust him and he will not
be hired again by any client but also will be
fired from the security company. An honest
security guard is a valuable asset not only to
the security company but also for the client.

5
Quick reflexes
Quick reflexes are required by a security guard
who wants to act in time and make the right moves
to avoid further consequences. Quick reactions
enable a security guard to prevent loss to the
property, money or any person residing in the
building where the guard is appointed.

6
Rational approach
A good security guard must not be an emotional
person. This is important so that he cannot be
fooled or tricked by any imposter. Moreover,
mostly people get carried away with emotions and
do things that must not be done. For example, a
fraud can make a guard allow him to enter a house
or building pretending he is a relative and in
emergency situation.

7
Communication skills
A great security guard must also be very good at
communication. It helps him inform the concerned
people or backup force to take immediate action
to avoid further loss and trauma. The security
guard must be able to convey his message clearly,
loudy and instantly so that in time action can be
taken to prevent a loss. It is a very important
skill to have for a security guard.
