Security Guard

A security guard looks after a place, like a school, a shopping center, or an office building. They walk around to check that doors are locked and lights are working, and they carry a radio to talk with their team. For example, when visitors arrive, the guard says hello, checks who they are, and shows them where to go. If someone is lost or something seems out of place, they stay calm and help sort it out.

Because a security guard is paying close attention, people can go about their day feeling comfortable. Kids can play, shoppers can browse, and workers can do their jobs. A guard is also a friendly face to ask when you need directions or can't find a grown-up. They take care of a place and everyone in it, one careful walk around at a time.
