Security guards are deployed by government affiliated security service providers or private organizations. They provide armed, unarmed security services to both public and private clients. They train and recruit security personnel through security agencies and institutes which provide security training services. They are business corporations which provide specialized security and patrol personnel such as security guards, parking security and guard dogs. Some companies also supply battons, CCTV cameras, bomb detectors, metal detectors, weapon detectors, baggage detectors, non lethal guns, stun guns, spike strips, security booths etc.

Security guards are approved by government or defense ministries to perform advanced special operations and demanding tasks. They are trained to work under maximum pressure and face adverse situations. They undergo first aid training, fire safety training, disaster management, evacuation planning etc. Companies which provide security guards also provide roving patrol, personal bodyguards and chauffeur drivers.

There are two main types of security personnel they are: proprietary guards and contract guards. A proprietary guard is an in house guard who has been directly hired, these guards are best suited in securing business establishments.
