Abstract
This qualitative study explores the experiences of school security guards at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU), focusing on their challenges in implementing security measures and identifying areas for improvement in existing security protocols. Through semi-structured interviews with security personnel, the research uncovers key issues including insufficient resources and manpower, inadequate infrastructure, compliance challenges, and communication barriers. Additionally, the study highlights areas for improvement such as the enhanced use of technology, continuous training and development, clearer security policies, and improved interdepartmental collaboration. The findings emphasize the critical role of security guards in maintaining campus safety, their professional dedication, and the need for a comprehensive security plan to strengthen campus security. The research concludes with recommendations for upgrading surveillance systems, improving training programs, and involving security staff in policy formulation to ensure a more secure and efficient campus environment.
