Manitoba Security Guard License Practice Test

What word(s) can sum up your conduct in the courtroom?

1. Deportment

2. Communication

3. Preparation

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

"All of the above" is the correct answer because each of the listed choices—deportment, communication, and preparation—are factors that contribute to your conduct in a courtroom. Deportment refers to your behavior or the manner in which you conduct yourself. In a courtroom, security guards are expected to behave in a dignified and professional manner, showing respect to all participants. Communication encompasses both verbal and non-verbal interactions. Effective communication can help maintain order, relay important information, and even de-escalate potentially volatile situations. Communication is not just about how a security guard speaks to others, but also how he listens, observes, and interprets the verbal and non-verbal cues of others. Preparation refers to being ready for the task at hand. This includes knowing the layout of the court, the people involved in the process, and the potential risks and how to handle them. Combining all these elements allows a security guard to conduct themselves appropriately in a court setting. Therefore, the combined term "All of the above" appropriately sums up a security guard's conduct in the courtroom.
