Builds on: Security Systems and the Guard's Role
Screening and Searching People, Bags and Vehicles
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Many guards check people, bags and vehicles at a gate or door. Done well, screening keeps dangerous things out. Done badly, it lets them in, or insults honest people.
Focus: check everyone the same way, resolve every alarm, ask for consent, and never use force.
Learning objectives
- Test and use a door-frame metal detector and a hand-held metal detector.
- Explain why every alarm must be resolved, and why nobody may bypass the check.
- Carry out a bag and vehicle check with consent and respect.
- Handle a refusal correctly: report it, never force it.
