Career Paths in Private Security

Question 7 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

If security guard requirements are basically high school diploma or GED, what is the best reason most security guards have two or four years of college?

Answer
A
the education serves your best interests, increases your skill for the agency you work for, and gives you a wider perspective on people and safety
B
the field of security is global, and its demands for travel both abroad and in the states require you to have language skills and additional education
C
higher pay
D
prestigious title and higher rank

Explanation

Although a high school diploma or GED may meet the basic hiring requirement, college can build skills that help guards do their work more effectively. It can also broaden their understanding of people and safety, benefiting both the guard and the agency. This makes A, the choice about skills and a wider perspective, the best reason; higher pay or prestige alone does not explain the educational benefit.
