Washington State Security Guard License Practice Exam

Security guard daily incident reports may go to several departments but ultimately the information is collected for

1. The Police

2. The Courts

3. The Client

4. The Site Supervisor

The correct answer is: The Client

While a security guard's daily incident reports may indeed be shared with various departments such as the police or site supervisors, the primary recipient and benefactor of this information is the client. In the context of security work, the client is the individual, business, or organization that has contracted the security services. These reports assist the client in understanding the security events and incidents that occurred on their property within a specific timeframe. Incident reports play a crucial role in security management as they record everything a security guard observes during their shift. Everything from routine activities to emergencies or suspicious activities are documented and evaluated. The client utilises these reports to track the quality of security services, and to make decisions regarding future security needs and strategies. Therefore, while it may be shared with others, the ultimate receiver of such information are the clients, so they can make informed decisions about their security needs.
