New Hampshire Security Guard Practice Exam

Accepting gifts or favors from individuals that security guards are responsible for monitoring is a potential conflict of interest because it can compromise the integrity and impartiality of the security guard's role. Security guards are tasked with maintaining safety and security, and any personal relationships that could influence their judgment or actions can lead to biased decision-making. This scenario creates a situation where the guard might show favoritism or neglect their duties to protect the interests of the person providing gifts or favors, thereby undermining their professional responsibilities and the trust placed in them by their employer or the public. In contrast, involvement in public community events, working with other security personnel, and attending training sessions generally serve to enhance the guard's skills and community relations and do not inherently create a conflict of interest.
