Besides fires, which of the following emergencies might a security officer encounter?

A security officer is often the first line of defense in a variety of emergency situations. Both accidents and illnesses fall within the scope of what a security officer may encounter in their daily duties. In cases of accidents, security officers might be required to respond to injuries on-site, facilitating first aid while awaiting medical assistance, and managing the scene to prevent further harm. Similarly, if an individual becomes ill, the security officer’s role may involve calling for medical help and ensuring the safety of others in the vicinity.

While severe weather warnings, cybersecurity threats, and power outages are indeed important emergencies to consider, they do not encompass the immediate health and safety concerns that arise from accidents and illnesses. Severe weather may lead to potential evacuation procedures, cybersecurity threats might target organizational data security but usually would not involve physical intervention by security personnel, and while power outages can affect security systems, they typically do not involve the direct health issues that accidents and illnesses do.
