What type of security involves officers who may work undercover?

1. Volunteer security

2. Peer security

3. Law enforcement security

4. Personal security

The correct answer is: Law enforcement security

The correct answer is law enforcement security, as officers working in this capacity often have the authority and training to operate undercover. This involves carrying out surveillance, gathering intelligence, and addressing potential threats discreetly to maintain safety and security at events. Law enforcement officers can adapt their approach and presence based on the situation, which includes both visible and undercover operations. The other types of security mentioned do not usually involve undercover work. Volunteer security typically consists of individuals without professional training in law enforcement; peer security often focuses on community-based oversight, relying more on relationships within groups rather than covert operations; and personal security pertains to the protection of individuals rather than event-wide security measures. These roles are generally more visible and do not engage in undercover activities.
