Eye Contact
Although referencing eye contact as part of the body language employed by a security guard may seem like a cliché and stating the obvious, the fact is that the importance of eye contact simply cannot be underrated. Appropriate eye contact for a security professional is not a constant lock on the eyes of another but something altogether more moderate.
When addressing an individual, a security professional maintains consistent eye contact. However, in a demonstration of control over a particular situation, a security pro looks away with deliberation. This serves the purpose of demonstrating to other individual's confidence but also that a particular security personnel officer is well aware of the surroundings and able to take charge of the situation at hand as necessary.
Balanced Positioning of the Body
Security personnel need to avoid looking stiff. Although a solid, erect stance is recommended, the overall presentation must be balanced. The stance is upright, but relaxed.
When a person stands stiffly, a lack of confidence tends to be demonstrated. On the other hand, when a person stands appropriately erect, but relaxed, he or she tends to exude confidence, no matter what might be occurring or about to occur around and about. Through a balanced stance, a person is held in place through the natural pull of gravity and not because of strained muscles.
