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.

Military intelligence analyst

By-law enforcement officer
Enforces municipal rules covering parking, noise, animals, property standards, licensing, and use of public space. The role mixes complaint response with proactive patrols, and most outcomes come from explaining the rule and negotiating compliance rather than issuing tickets. Officers appear at hearings to defend the notices they write.

Retail store manager
