What is the MOST important reason a security guard would cordon off the scene of an emergency?

To protect evidence
To control unauthorized access
To protect the people in the surrounding area
To stay busy while the police investigate

The correct answer is: To control unauthorized access

The primary responsibility of a security guard at the scene of an emergency is to maintain control and order. This means that preventing unauthorized access to the scene is crucial. Cordoning off the scene ensures a physical barrier is established between the emergency situation and individuals who are not authorized to be involved, so that the situation can be properly managed. It helps to keep bystanders or curious onlookers out of the area where they might interfere with the work of first responders or potentially put their own safety at risk. It also helps to keep the situation from escalating due to unnecessary interference. Therefore, controlling unauthorized access is the most important reason a security guard would cordon off the scene of an emergency.
