Which of the following roles are security officers primarily responsible for?

Security officers are primarily responsible for protecting their employer's property. This includes monitoring the premises to prevent theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access, as well as ensuring the safety of employees and clients within that property. Their duties often involve patrols, surveillance, and maintaining order within the facility they are assigned to.

While protecting the community is valuable, it falls more under the jurisdiction of law enforcement agencies, which have broader authority and responsibilities. Security officers do not have the power to enforce state laws in the same way that police officers do; their role does not typically involve formal law enforcement. Furthermore, while security personnel may be observant and report criminal activity to law enforcement, investigating crimes is a function of police and trained investigators, rather than security officers who primarily focus on their assigned duties within a specific property.
