What of the following is a failure to provide duty of care?

Fail to report a normal looking car in the parking lot, later found to be a crime scene
Fail to confiscate a barbeque from a balcony at an apartment that later starts a fire
Fail to report a broken window noticed that turns out to be the entry for a theft
Fail to assess the root causes of a fire

The correct answer is: Fail to report a broken window noticed that turns out to be the entry for a theft

The correct answer highlights a situation where failing to report a broken window constitutes a failure to provide duty of care. In the context of security responsibilities, a security guard has a duty to ensure the safety and security of the premises they are monitoring. Noticing a broken window is a clear indication of a potential security breach, which could lead to unauthorized access or a theft. By failing to report this observation, the guard is neglecting their responsibility to act on visible risks, thereby compromising the safety of the area and the individuals within it. Insecurity, duty of care involves taking proactive steps to mitigate dangers or potential breaches. The broken window could signify an immediate threat that, if reported, might lead to further investigation or preventive measures. Thus, this lack of action directly relates to a failure of duty—not only in the obligation to report incidents but also in maintaining a secure environment.
