What does a security guard have to do when dealing with a crime scene?

Do not touch anything

Secure the area and call the police

Let no one in except for the proper authorities

All of the above

The correct answer is "All of the above" because it encapsulates all responsibilities that a security guard must perform when faced with a crime scene. This includes not touching anything to ensure that no evidence is disturbed, in accordance with the principle of scene preservation. Secure the area is another responsibility to prevent further contamination of the crime scene, and protect potential evidence until it can be properly analysed by investigators. Finally, only allowing proper authorities such as the police or other legal investigative agencies is essential for maintaining integrity and control over the crime scene. The security guard's role is to ensure that these regulations are complied with, hence, all the mentioned responses are requirements a security guard must fulfill when dealing with a crime scene.
