The type of weapons a security guard should carry depends on their specific role, the environment they operate in, and the legal regulations of the area. Non-lethal options, such as pepper spray or batons, are often preferred for general security duties, while armed guards may carry firearms if they are properly trained and licensed. Ultimately, the choice of weapon should prioritize safety, de-escalation, and adherence to laws and company policies. Regular training and clear protocols are essential for effective and responsible weapon use.

I was placed on a security guard detail but we are not issued weapons and I haven't found any ARs regarding the carrying of batons can I carry one while on this duty?

You can be issued batons or even lethal weapons while on security detail, if it is deemed appropriate to do such. If batons are not being issued for the detail, it was probably seen as unnecessary. If you feel that it's pertinent to carry one, you need to make your case to the NCOIC of that detail.
