SIRA Security Guard (Dubai/UAE) Exam Questions & Answers 2026 (21–30)

Question 1

Discrimination when providing security service (e.g. refusing entry based on race or religion) is:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Unlawful and unprofessional. Treating people unfairly on the basis of race, religion, nationality, or similar grounds is unlawful and unprofessional. Guards must act impartially.

Question 2

When giving evidence or a statement, a guard should:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

State only the facts they personally observed. A statement must be truthful and limited to facts the guard personally observed. Exaggeration or guessing undermines credibility and can mislead an investigation.

Question 3

Handcuffs or restraints, where permitted, should only be applied:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

When necessary, reasonably, and as briefly as possible. Restraints, where lawfully allowed, are a last resort used only when necessary and proportionate, and for the shortest time, then the person is handed to police.

Question 4

Trespass occurs when a person:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Remains on property after being lawfully asked to leave. Trespass typically arises when someone enters without permission or refuses to leave after being lawfully asked. The guard should ask them to leave and escalate if they refuse.

Question 5

Good observation skills for a guard depend mainly on:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Using all senses and staying alert to detail. Effective observation uses all the senses and constant alertness to changes and detail, allowing the guard to notice problems early.

Question 6

A well-written incident report should answer which key questions?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Who, what, when, where, why, and how. A complete report covers the 'five Ws and H' — who, what, when, where, why, and how — so the reader has the full, factual picture.

Question 7

Notes in a guard's notebook should be:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Made promptly, accurately, and factually at the time. Notes made promptly and factually at the time are far more reliable and credible than ones reconstructed later from memory.

Question 8

When describing a suspect, the most useful details are:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Height, build, clothing, distinguishing features, and direction of travel. A useful description is systematic — height, build, age, clothing, distinguishing marks, and last-seen direction — so others can identify and locate the person.

Question 9

An incident report should record facts and clearly separate them from:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Opinions or assumptions. Facts must be distinguished from opinion or assumption. Stating an assumption as fact can mislead readers and damage an investigation.

Question 10

If a guard is unsure of an exact detail (e.g. a vehicle plate), the report should:

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

State what is known and note the uncertainty. Honesty and accuracy matter: record what is known and flag what is uncertain rather than inventing details that could mislead.
