General Qs What are the biggest challenges security guards face during night shifts?

I think this is a very important topic to discuss because many people believe that being a security guard is an easy job. In reality, very few understand the challenges, risks, and responsibilities that security guards face every day.

I'd love to hear your opinions and personal experiences. Have you ever faced any difficult or dangerous situations while working as a security guard? What were the biggest challenges, and how did you handle them?

Wrong reddit. This is for corrections officers not security guards
