What would NOT be a likely result of writing a detailed and concise report as a security guard?

  1. An accurate record of events would be created

  2. The police could have enough evidence to lay a charge based on the details

  3. The security guard would be reprimanded for unprofessional reporting of an incident

  4. A client could become aware of an ongoing problem relating to the site

The correct answer is: The security guard would be reprimanded for unprofessional reporting of an incident

A detailed and concise report from a security guard is a crucial component in maintaining an accurate record of events and incidents that transpire in the assigned area. This report may assist the police in gathering enough evidence if there's a need to lay a charge, as it provides specific details about the incident. It could also potentially alert a client to any ongoing problems on the site, leading to appropriate preventive measures or resolutions. Therefore, the security guard would not be reprimanded for unprofessional reporting as a result of writing a detailed and concise report; on the contrary, such a report upholds professionalism and is a key part of their job. This eliminates the option which suggests that the guard would receive reprimands for a comprehensive and precise report.
