What of the following would NOT be a reason to write a report as a security guard?

To pass on important information
To describe how much force was used in an arrest
To describe details of a critical incident on site
To describe why you require days off in the future

The correct answer is: To describe why you require days off in the future

The primary function of a security guard's report is to describe activities, observations, and incidents during their work assignments. This may include highlighting important information, detailing how much force was used during an arrest, or outlining relevant details of a critical incident on the site. These reports serve as key evidence and can be crucial in legal proceedings or investigations. On the other hand, writing about your personal need for future days off is not related to the role and duties of a security guard and is therefore not a reason to write a report in a professional context. Requests for time off are a matter of human resources or staff scheduling and should be addressed through appropriate channels within the company, such as through direct communication with a supervisor or by following company-specific procedures for vacation or personal day requests.
