A security job that safely transports and escorts cash and valuables using armored vehicles, etc., to prevent attacks and theft.
Description
Transport security guards use armored cars or dedicated vehicles to safely transport and escort cash and valuables between banks, to ATMs, commercial facilities, and elsewhere. Before departure, they develop security plans and check routes and security equipment. They work in teams of multiple members, conducting surveillance and vigilance to prevent attacks or robberies by criminals. In emergencies, they use sirens or signal guns and coordinate with the police as necessary. Long hours of driving, loading and unloading work, high concentration, and physical stamina are required.

Due to the progress of cashless payments, demand for cash transport is slightly decreasing, but demand for valuables transport and special security remains stable. Efficiency improvements in security and transport through AI and drones are possible.
