Reporting: Accountant and Administration Officer
Supervises: None
Duty station: Dodoma

Duties and Responsibilities
 Monitor and authorize entrance and departure of employees, visitors, and other persons to guard against theft and maintain security of premises.
 Controls traffic by directing drivers.
 Maintains environment by monitoring and setting building and equipment controls.

 Write reports of daily activities and irregularities, such as equipment or property damage, theft, presence of unauthorized persons, or unusual occurrences.
 To respond quickly and correctly during crisis
 Not only does a security guard sense crisis; he acts fast to control the situation. So, a security guard must always be at alert to avoid being caught unawares. How a security guard responds to crisis varies depending on the threat. A security guard must know how best to respond to various dangerous situations.

Observing and reporting
 Even after a dangerous situation has been successfully averted, a security guard must not relax yet. He should keep observing until he is sure that there are no more problems. After a crisis, a security guard should report the incident to his supervisor, the police or the appropriate authorities (such as the fire services in the case of a fire outbreak). This way, further steps would be taken to avert a future recurrence.

Getting help
 During some very dangerous situations (such as armed robbery attacks or assaults with deadly weapons), a security guard may be unable to handle the situation. In that case, he would need some help, and he should waste no time in calling the police. By getting help this way, loss of lives or property would be averted.
