What action should be taken to protect a night-working parking lot security guard following an increase in area attacks?

  1. Permit personal firearm possession on duty

  2. Install and monitor security cameras

  3. Staff the post with two workers at all times

  4. Have the staffing agency enhance security

The correct answer is: Install and monitor security cameras

Installing and monitoring security cameras is the best option to protect a night-working parking lot security guard following an increase in area attacks. Permitting personal firearm possession on duty may pose a safety risk to not only the security guard but also to innocent individuals in the vicinity. Staffing the post with two workers at all times can be effective, but this may not be a feasible option for all situations and it may also not address the root cause of the increase in attacks. Having the staffing agency enhance security is also a good option, but it may be more costly and time-consuming compared to installing and monitoring security cameras.
