According to the Uniform Regulations, in which role does a security guard need to wear a security uniform?

When acting as a bodyguard
When acting as a mobile security guard
When acting as loss prevention
None of the above

The correct answer is: When acting as a mobile security guard

A security guard is typically required to wear a uniform while acting as a mobile security guard in order to establish a visible presence, enhance authority, and ensure immediate recognition by the public and those they are protecting. Uniforms serve as a crucial component in conveying professionalism and an official status, which can deter potential criminal activity and reassure clients or the general public. In this context, mobile security guards are often tasked with patrolling areas and responding to incidents, and wearing a uniform helps them stand out in their role. The presence of a uniform can also create a sense of safety and security within the environment they are monitoring. While other roles like bodyguards or loss prevention may have specific attire guidelines, they do not emphasize the necessity of an official security uniform to the same extent as mobile security patrols, where visibility and identification are vital components of the job.
