Meter Testing by Security Guard

Typically, security guards are not involved in meter testing. This task is usually handled by specialized technicians or engineers employed by the city or municipality responsible for parking meters.

Why Security Guards Might Be Involved (Rare Cases)

There could be exceptional circumstances where a security guard might be involved in a very limited capacity related to parking meters:

• Observation: They might be asked to observe meter testing to ensure the safety of the technicians or to deter vandalism.
• Reporting Issues: If a security guard notices a malfunctioning meter, they might report it to the appropriate department for repair.
• Security During Testing: In high-crime areas, a security guard might be assigned to protect the testing equipment or technicians.

However, it's important to emphasize that these are very specific and unusual situations. The core responsibility of a security guard is to protect people and property, not to conduct technical tests on equipment.
