A static guard is a security professional assigned to remain at a fixed location to monitor and protect a specific site, asset, or individual. Unlike patrol officers who move around different areas, static guards stay stationed at one point—such as an entrance, reception area, construction site, or access gate—to control entry, check identification, observe security cameras, and respond to any suspicious behavior or incidents. Their primary role is to maintain a strong, visible security presence that deters unauthorized access, protects property, and ensures the safety of people within the area. Static guards often serve as the first point of contact for visitors, combining security duties with customer service and situational awareness.
