Which of the following is true about alarms?

Security Guards can easily obtain prompt back up when needed
Security Guards always work with partners so they can investigate alarms
Security Guards often respond alone and do not have immediate back up
Security Guards only respond to false alarms

The correct answer is: Security Guards often respond alone and do not have immediate back up

In most cases, Security Guards do respond alone to alarms and typically do not have immediate back up. This is due to the nature of their job role which often requires them to be on solo patrol and respond independently to a variety of situations, including alarms. Their primary duty is to secure premises and personnel by patrolling the property, inspecting buildings, equipment, and access points, and responding to alarms, if necessary. In situations where they respond to alarms, it might take some time for additional support or backup to arrive at the scene, depending on the setup and staffing of the security agency.
