Public safety, defence and emergency response

Security guard

Protects a site, its occupants, and its property by patrolling, controlling access, monitoring cameras, and responding to alarms or disturbances. Guards observe and report rather than investigate, and call police or emergency services once an incident goes beyond their authority. Written logs and incident reports are a core part of the job.

Loss prevention officer

Reduces theft and internal loss in retail and warehouse settings by monitoring the floor and camera systems, investigating suspected incidents, and working with police when charges are pursued. Much of the role is evidence-quality observation, careful documentation, and knowing the limits of what a civilian may lawfully do.

Lifeguard

Watches swimmers at a pool, beach, or waterfront, prevents unsafe behaviour before it becomes an incident, and rescues people who get into trouble. Lifeguards also test water quality, maintain rescue equipment, and provide first aid until further help arrives. Most of the shift is sustained, disciplined scanning rather than rescue.

Forensic identification technician

Documents and recovers physical evidence from crime scenes: photographing, measuring, lifting fingerprints, and packaging exhibits so they stay admissible. Technicians also compare prints, prepare exhibits, and explain their examination in court. Chain of custody and contamination control shape almost every step.
