Radio Communication, Basic Security Guard Training

Unit 2 Lesson (C): Basic Radio Communication Course

A radio (walkie-talkie) is a portable, hand-held, two-way radio transceiver. It allows multiple users to share a single radio channel; however, only one person can transmit at a time while others listen. Security guards commonly use radio to send and receive critical information quickly and reliably.

Typically, the radio remains in receiving mode. To transmit, press the “push-to-talk” (PTT) button, which disables the receiver and activates the transmitter.

Using radios for communication in security and other industries is legal and standard practice. Radios generally operate on UHF (Ultra High Frequency) or VHF (Very High Frequency). UHF radios are suitable for shorter distances, while VHF radios cover longer distances.

The Radio Communication course highlights the radio as essential equipment for security personnel and law enforcement officers. Mastering radio communication is crucial, emphasizing clarity, accuracy, and adherence to established voice procedures and guidelines.

Best Practices in the Radio Communication Course:

  • Radios serve as vital safety and security tools.
  • Speak slowly and concisely during communication.
  • Always utilize the phonetic alphabet and the 24-hour clock.
  • Maintain caution regarding your communication, as others may overhear.
  • Think carefully before speaking on the radio.

Voice Procedure in the Radio Communication Course: Voice procedure ensures security, accuracy, and discipline in radio interactions.

DO Rules:

  • Think before speaking.
  • Communicate clearly and carefully.
  • Keep messages brief and precise.
  • Use proper radio terminology and codes.
  • Select optimal locations for clear transmissions.

DO NOT Rules:

  • Avoid interrupting ongoing transmissions unless there’s an emergency.
  • Avoid unnecessary use of “radio slang.”
  • Never share your personal location or contact details.
  • Refrain from personal conversations on the radio.

The RSVP system taught in the Radio Communication course emphasizes clear speech:

  • RHYTHM: Allow adequate pauses.
  • SPEED: Speak slower than usual.
  • VOLUME: Speak directly into the microphone.
  • PITCH: Slightly raise your voice pitch compared to normal conversation.

ProWords Essential to the Radio Communication Course: ProWords simplify communication, reducing misunderstandings.

Radio Communication ProWords

  • AFFIRMATIVE: Yes
  • BREAK, BREAK: Urgent interruption
  • EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY: Immediate threat, urgent help required
  • FIGURE: Spelling numbers
  • GO AHEAD: Ready for your message
  • I SPELL: Spelling using the phonetic alphabet
  • I SAY AGAIN: Repeating the message
  • NEGATIVE: No
  • OUT: End of communication
  • OVER: Invitation to respond
  • ROGER: Message received and understood
  • ROGER SO FAR: Partial message confirmation
  • SAY AGAIN: Request to repeat entire message
  • SAY ALL AFTER: Repeat after a certain word
  • SAY ALL BEFORE: Repeat before a certain word
  • STANDBY: Wait briefly
  • WAIT OVER: Short waiting period
  • WAIT OUT: Longer waiting period
  • SITREP: Situation report
  • CORRECT: Confirm accuracy
  • INFO: Information
  • I VERIFY: Confirm verification

Phonetic Alphabet Training in the Radio Communication Course: Security guards, military personnel, police, and aviation professionals worldwide use the phonetic alphabet to spell words clearly, preventing misunderstandings.

A – ALPHA, B – BRAVO, C – CHARLIE, D – DELTA, E – ECHO, F – FOXTROT, G – GOLF, H – HOTEL, I – INDIA, J – JULIETTE, K – KILO, L – LIMA, M – MIKE, N – NOVEMBER, O – OSCAR, P – PAPA, Q – QUEBEC, R – ROMEO, S – SIERRA, T – TANGO, U – UNIFORM, V – VICTOR, W – WHISKEY/WATER, X – X-RAY, Y – YANKEE, Z – ZULU

Example:

  • DUBAI = DELTA, UNIFORM, BRAVO, ALPHA, INDIA
  • RAM = ROMEO, ALPHA, MIKE

For effective radio communication, understanding proper speaking techniques, voice procedures, RSVP methods, ProWords, and the phonetic alphabet is essential, making the Radio Communication course vital training for security professionals.

The fire safety plan, basic security guard training.

Basic security guard training Unit 5 Lesson (A)

The fire is a common and serious emergency situation that security has to deal with. As a security guard, your main duty is to protect people and property but the fire can destroy both in a minute.

You should manage and look over the fire hazard on your site. Mostly, the security guards are the first person to detect in the early stage of fire. In the case of fire, you have to know how to react quickly and confidently.

So, you should know the available types of fire equipment and their location on your site. Not only this but also you must get training for operating the fire equipment. Your own safety and safety of others depends on your hand.

If you have not experienced the fire scene before, it is hard to imagine how it looks like. The fire in the video and movies is nothing because we do not feel the heat and breath of smoke.

In the real fire, many things existing such as smoke, flame and heat many people kill through inhaling the smoke than getting burnt. The transparent gases are released from the burning substances. The gases are lighter than the air so they can spread quickly throughout the building. They are toxic that the result, people can die quickly after inhaling it.

The fire is quick and fatal. When you are at the fire scene you may have not time to think how to handle it. Most importantly, you should know your fire safety plan very well and your role in case of fire at your site.

What are fire safety and emergency procedures plans?

Every company has an emergency situation plan which includes evacuation routes, firefighting equipment and the contact number of In-charge in the case of an emergency.

Some company has a complex emergency situation plan I mean the different emergency has a different action plan and different contact person depending on the emergency. Even though how the detail of the plans is, the purpose is the same, prepare people before an emergency happen.

Make sure there is an emergency situation plan in your workplace not only this but you read and understand also. If you are sure the plan does not exist then, ask the client and inform your supervisor or manager regarding this.

Another important point is to read the plan often. Doing this can remain fresh in your mind the emergency procedure and your role on it. That’s why in case of emergency you can handle a situation without thinking what is in your emergency responding plan.

If there is no emergency situation plan in your site ask your roles in case of emergency. Don’t wait until the situation happens and look for the answer. As a security guard, you have the rights to suggest your company or clients if anything relates to the safety and security of the people and property.

Fire elements;

The fire can take place if the following 3 things are presented and coordinated with each other.

Fire triangle

Fuel:  The fuels are substances which burn in the fire if they get enough heat. The material can be anything and any form such as solid, liquid or gas. In other words, these called combustible materials.

Heat:  The heat brings enough temperature to the material and they ignite that’s the cause of the fire. Without sufficient temperature, the fire can not start.

Air:  The fire requires oxygen to breathe and grow just like we do. For our respiratory, we need 21% of the oxygen so, it is not hard to fire take place anywhere people can breathe.

Fire classification;
  1. Class A, (Ordinary combustible): paper, wood, plastic
  2. Class B, (Flammable liquid): petrol, diesel, kerosene, paint, thinner
  3. Class C, (Flammable gases): LPG & CNG
  4. Class D, Electrical
  5. Class E, Metal fire

The easiest way to deal with fire is preventing it from happening in a first place

Fire put out method;

Cooling: In this method, we lower the temperature if we remove the heat from the fire the fuel will cool, without enough temperature the fuel cannot combustible and burning.

Smothering:  Smothering is another method of putting the fire out. Here, we remove the air or oxygen from the fire. For Examples, putting a lid on a frying pan or covering the fire by fire blanket.

Starvation:  When we remove the fuel from the source of fire such as turning off the gas, removing anything that is burning or may burn. pump flammable liquids away from a burning tank.

A security guard must familiar with the following things. 
Eire-doors
  • Fire doors are intended to keep a fire within a specific area, some doors are designed atomically closed in the event of a fire alarm.
The Fire exits
  • Fire exits provide an escape route for people in case of fire.
Panic Bar
  • Panic bars allow a fire door to remain unlocked from the inside but locked from outside.
  • Know your building and always assume that every fire alarm is a real fire.
Fire blanket:
  •  Look like cloth but made of special chemical and fiber. if the fire is small we can cover the fire using the blanket.
  • If the fire is in the human body you can use to wrap the person’s body to put out the fire.
  • But make sure when you use the blanket it covers the full fire otherwise, the fire will not stop.
Cause of the Fire Hazards

Poor housekeeping: – Sometimes things are not properly put away, lying around or put in the wrong place.

Poor maintenance: – Sometimes things are not kept in good repair or are not properly made.

Improper uses: – Sometimes things are used carelessly or not according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Arson: – Arson happens when someone starts a fire on purpose.  It is important for security guards to be on the lookout for this.

Spontaneous combustion: – Chemical changes can take place in some materials.  Over time, enough heat can build up inside to make them burst into flames. For example, Oily rags, flammable liquids, floor oils, hay, grain, charcoal, soft coal, and foam rubber can all start on fire if not properly stored.

Fire extinguishers and their uses

As a security guard, you must know and trained to handle the fire extinguisher in case of fire at your workplace. When fire you must use the specific fire extinguisher for a specific fire to put it out.

fire extinguisher

Types of fire extinguisher; 

  1. Water:- It is the cheapest and most widely used fire extinguishers. Used for Class A fires. Not suitable for use in Class B (Liquid) fires, or where electricity is involved.

When you use the water extinguisher to put out the Class B fire the oil is lighter and it can easily float in the water hence, the fire can spread. If you use the water to put out class E (Electrical) fire it is a danger of shock if the electricity line is not off.

2. Foam fire extinguisher:- It is more expensive than water made of chemical liquid. Used for Classes A & B fires. Foam spray extinguishers are not recommended for fires involving electricity but are safer than water if unknowingly sprayed onto live electrical apparatus.

3. DCP  (Dry Cleaning Powder fire extinguishers):- DCP Often called the ‘multi-purpose’ extinguisher, as it can be used on classes A, B & C fires. Best for running liquid fires (Class B).

But, make sure when used for (class C) fire can be dangerous without first isolating the gas supply. 

When you use the DCP indoors, the powder can unclear vision or damaged goods and machinery. It is also very messy.

4. CO2 fire extinguisher:- Carbon Dioxide or CO2 is generally use against the fire at electrical apparatus, and will also extinguish class B liquid fires, but beware of when used in class B fire can ignite again.

Colour Coding of fire extinguisher 

Water – Red

Foam – Cream

Dry Powder – Blue

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Black

Halon – Green

(Halon fire extinguisher is illegal to present against any types of fire because of the health concern of the people but still some cases the military and police may have exceptional rights in some country ).

Extinguisher
  1. Handled extinguishers
  2. Movable extinguishers
  3. Water extinguishers
  4. Chemical powder extinguishers
Hose cabinets:
  • Contain fabric hose
  • Are water-based
  • May required you to break the glass door
  • May operate under greater pressure
Method of use the fire extinguisher 

“PASS”

P= pull the safety pin

A= Aim the low at the base of the fire

S= squeeze the lever above the handle

S= sweep side by side.

Fire prevention
  1. Be observant (why are those people looking up, is there is any fire on the room)
  2. Be aware of your normal surroundings (To ensure the availability of the Are there items blocking fire exits).
  3. Building fire may also be a crime scene. If the fire has been deliberately set, you should prepare to answer questions from the police officers.

On the one hand, the security guards have to know fires safety plan of their site and another hand knowing how to deal with fire is equally important.

Dealing with fire:

  • The goal of dealing with fire is not just to put it out, but to possibly put in a place where it damages E.g. if you have a burning wastebasket you may able to pull it into the center of the room.
  • Guards have not fired fighter, but you can save lives and property by acting quickly on a small fire. Security can prevent a small fire from becoming a big one.
  • There are other ways that a fire can extinguish without directly involving a security guard (sprinkler system)
  • The security guard should know the standpipe system which is for the civil defense to connect water to continue the function of sprinkler system.

A professional Security report writing methods
  •  Security guard basic training Unit 2 Lesson (B)

A security guard needs to write about security report along with performing his or her duty. The Security report is an official memo for a particular guard, security company and the client’s company as well.

In the course of the duty, a security guard encounters thousand of incidents and accidents. That need to pass the factual information to persons who were not present at the actual event that the security guard witnessed.

You should pass the information including your subordinates, co-workers, superiors, police, and insurance companies. Additionally, in the court hearing, you may require pass information to private investigators, defence lawyers, and the Crown prosecutor. Therefore a security guard must take an observation and record them in clear, concise and logical manner.

The report is a recorded remark in which the facts of the events are included. The report helps to learn other people just about past incidents. A security guard must know the following things regarding the report.

  • Reports are a guard’s way of passing on information
  • Reports are generally either administrative or operational
  • reports are read by many different people
  • Reports should have an introduction, what the incident was about, and a belief Summary about the incident at the end.
  • A good narrative has an introduction, a body, and a summary
  • Use heading what necessary
  • Remember the 5 c W’s and ‘H’ when writing a report. They are Who, What, When, Where, Why And How
  • Avoid slang and bad language in a report
  • The report should be written in the past tense.

Categories of security report.

  1. Administrative:- The reports are generally occurred in routine and needed some kinds of paper flows through the office on any given working day. You have to fill the form if you want to report either you require or going to do something.

For example, the administrative reports include a requisition for equipment, a visitor’s register, a temporary pass registry, a time card indicating hours worked, requests for vacation leave, requests for training, budgets, and so on.

2. Operational:- In another word, these are the incident reports. Incident reports are a description of the occurrence on the duty of the security guard. After an incident, a security guard has to write a complete report in detail.

An operational report you need to write when you supervise a criminal offence such as damage to property, robbery, theft, assault, fire, and shoplifting, etc.

The purpose of an operational security report.

First and foremost, you should know the following purpose of the good security report.

  1. to become an official record of what happened;

2. to record the occurrence for the writer’s future reference, and

3. to pass the facts of an occurrence on to others for a variety of uses.

Even Though a security guard writes a different type of report in a different scenario. A good report must include the following points.

  1.  factual,
  2. accurate,
  3. objective,
  4. complete,
  5. concise,
  6. clear,
  7. correct and
  8. well organized
What should include in the good report?

Generally, An integral formula to write the report is 5W and 1H.

  1. Who,

2. what,

3. when,

4. where,

5. why and

6. how.

  1. WHO?

“who” uses for the person. It describes anyone who was involved. When you writing the security report you should try to answer this question.

  1. Who was involved?

2. Who was the complainant?

3. Who witnessed the event?

In this part, we can include the victim, the person who made complain, someone who asks you to do something, the person who started the event, police if they come in the scene. Secondly, we should use “what” in the security report.

2. WHAT?

comparatively others, this portion includes the important part of the incident and accident. It indicates the title of the event and provides majority substance of the good security report. Answer these two question while you come to the point to include the “what”.

  1. What actually happened? and
  2. What evidence is available?

Furthermore, It includes the description of the event that was happened and the action was taken by the people are involved. also what shreds of evidence were available and what was done with it. Remember you should include the action taken by a security guard in that event.

3. WHEN? 

It represents the time, day and the date of the incident that are equally important for the good security report.

  1. When did the event occur?

Answering the above question it completes a section of the report. You should incorporate things like:

  1. when you last observed the area prior to the occurrence

2. when the event began and it ended

3. when you had contact with a witness

4. and when police, the fire department, or the ambulance arrived.

4. WHERE?

similarly above 3 WH questions “where” also equally important for the good security report. Where portrays the location of the incident.

  1. Where did the event occur?

2. Where the witnesses were located.

3. Where the pieces of evidence discover?

4. Where the accused was found?

In addition, you need to describe the environment and the location you and the other individuals were at the time.

5. WHY?

This part of the report gives the reason for the event. Starting from “Why” we can ask many questions at the investigation of the scene. Remember that, Some questions may remain unanswered even after a complete investigation. Some question you need to includes.

  1. What motive was there for the incident?
  2. Why did this particular series of events occur?

A good security guard report does not complete along with the above “5W” altogether it requires to include the 1H is

6. HOW?

This portion describes how the incident took place and what action was done in response.

  1. How did this event come to your attention?

2. How did the event take place?

3. How did the accused act?

4. How did the witnesses act?

5. How was the evidence recovered?

6. How was the suspect/accused arrested?

Before writing the good security report you should take time to organize the things need to include on it and the questions to be the answered.

Explore the best way on your writing which allows the audience easily understand the situation.

Although the report writing styles may vary depending on the worksite the stander format is applicable in the security industries. Your employer or the client may have a different format of different types of report that you need to fill up. Here is a sample report for you to learn.

Crime Prevention | Security Awareness | Observation Skills Training

 Security guard basic training Unit 2 Lesson (A)

Security awareness is the foundation of a security guard’s role. It’s about having the knowledge and mindset to protect both the physical and informational assets of an organization.

Essentially, it means understanding that there are individuals—whether acting accidentally or intentionally—who may steal, damage, or misuse company property.

A security guard who is fully aware of their surroundings can effectively meet the expectations of both the company and its clients.

What Does Security Awareness Involve?

Being security-aware means you must always be conscious of:

  • Changing Situations: The environment can shift at any moment, so staying alert is crucial.
  • Access and Exit Points: Knowing where people can enter or leave the premises.
  • Hazardous Materials: Being aware of where dangerous substances are stored.
  • Valuable Assets: Identifying the locations of high-value items.
  • Fire Safety Systems: Familiarity with fire defense equipment and protocols.
  • Emergency Plans: Understanding how to respond in emergencies.
  • Blind Spots: Areas not covered by CCTV or alarm systems.
  • Key Details: Remembering critical information that could impact security.

Security guards must remain vigilant at all times. The foundation of this vigilance is knowledge, and effective problem-solving relies heavily on awareness.

Good security awareness is a powerful tool in crime prevention and awareness. Part of a security guard’s role is to assess situations and determine whether they are routine or require immediate action.

Crime Prevention

Crime is an illegal act punishable by law, often involving significant harm to individuals, property, or societal harmony. While security guards are not police officers, they play a vital role in preventing and discouraging criminal activities.

They often collaborate with law enforcement to reduce the costs of crime—whether it’s loss of life, financial damage, or disruption to peace.

Within an organization, security guards act as the first line of defense. They enforce rules and regulations while maintaining a safe and peaceful environment for employees and owners.

Crime prevention and awareness are key parts of their job, and they achieve this through security awareness. Here are six ways a security guard can prevent crime:

  1. Being Aware: Staying alert to potential threats.
  2. Making Suggestions: Offering recommendations to improve security.
  3. Being Visible: Acting as a deterrent by maintaining a noticeable presence.
  4. Talking to People: Engaging with individuals to gather information or deter suspicious behavior.
  5. Sharing Information: Communicating relevant details with the team or authorities.
  6. Taking Good Notes and Reports: Documenting observations and incidents accurately.

Security Guard Observation Skills

Observation is a critical component of security awareness. It’s not just about seeing something—it’s about understanding what you’ve seen and taking appropriate action. For example, if you notice an object has changed its condition or observe unusual activity near your boundary, you must respond effectively.

Key Points About Security Guard Observation Skills:

  • Observation allows you to gather useful information, interpret it, and use it as needed.
  • One of the primary roles of private security is to observe and report.
  • Not all observations need to be shared—only those that impact the security of clients or customers.
  • Observation can be either proactive or reactive.
  • Always take notes as soon as possible after observing an event.

Proactive Observation

This method involves observing your surroundings in advance to prevent incidents before they occur.

While it takes time to develop, proactive observation is highly effective in reducing loss of life and property. It’s about anticipating problems, seeking solutions, and taking preventive measures.

Reactive Observation

This type of observation is influenced by external factors. If an incident occurs suddenly, you have no choice but to react on the spot. Reactive observation means responding to something that has already happened.

How to Improve Security Guard Observation Skills

Observation is a skill that can be learned and refined over time. Here are some practical tips to enhance your observation abilities:

  • Understand the Subject: Go beyond what you see—analyze the context.
  • Focus on Your Surroundings: Pay attention to people, objects, animals, plants, and buildings.
  • Practice Everywhere: Observe details in various settings, like your home, workplace, or public spaces.
  • Limit Distractions: Improve concentration by minimizing interruptions like phones or radios.
  • Memory Games: Test your memory by describing objects or photos without looking at them.
  • Take Notes: Write down what you observe to reinforce your memory.
  • Prioritize Key Details: Don’t try to remember everything—focus on the most important aspects.
  • Ask Yourself Questions: Reflect on what you’ve observed. For example:
    • What did you see? (Object name, color, size, shape)
    • Where was it located? (Placement relative to other objects)
    • What sounds were present?
    • What sensations did you feel?
    • Who was there? (People, their clothing, and their actions)

Conclusion

Security awareness is built on strong crime awareness and observation skills. A security guard must be familiar with all security-related aspects of their work site. By practicing proactive observation, you can detect potential threats before they escalate into crimes.

Crime awareness and security guard observation skills help security personnel become more effective in their roles. Remember, the key to effective security lies in staying alert, being knowledgeable, and continuously refining your observation abilities.
