What is the best description of a site patrol duty?

  1. Assigned to a specific site, patrolling the property

  2. Assigned to a specific static post

  3. Assigned to patrol between many sites

  4. Assigned to patrol a specific area for the purpose of detecting fire

The correct answer is: Assigned to a specific site, patrolling the property

The correct answer is A. "Assigned to a specific site, patrolling the property" because this precisely describes what a site patrol duty involves. A security guard assigned for site patrol duty has the responsibility to frequently roam around a specific property or site. During patrol, the guard checks for any unusual or suspicious activities that could pose a threat to the safety and security of the site. The guard may also investigate disturbances, ensure a property's rules are adhered to, and monitor the ingress and egress of individuals. Essentially, the primary objective of a site patrol duty is ensuring the security and safety of a designated site.
