Which of the following is NOT a role of Security Personnel?

  1. To serve as crowd control

  2. To inform the public on safety measures

  3. To conduct criminal investigations

  4. To monitor access to facilities

The correct answer is: To conduct criminal investigations

The role of security personnel primarily encompasses functions that focus on maintaining safety, preventing incidents, and protecting property rather than conducting criminal investigations. Security guards are typically responsible for managing crowd control, providing information on safety measures, and monitoring access to facilities to ensure restricted areas are secure. While security personnel may observe and report suspicious activities or incidents to law enforcement, they do not have the authority or training that law enforcement officers possess regarding the investigation of crimes. Criminal investigations require specialized knowledge and skills that go beyond the scope of a security guard's duties. Therefore, conducting criminal investigations does not fall under the standard responsibilities of security personnel, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
