The correct answer is: Written rules which may include but are not limited to operational, procedural, and administrative matters

Post Standing Orders are written rules which may include but are not limited to operational, procedural, and administrative matters. They provide a comprehensive guide and set of directives which security guards must follow while on duty. These could include procedures for normal operations as well as for specific situations, such as dealing with an intruder, handling a fire alarm, or securing a site. These rules are essential to ensure all guards act consistently and professionally, and they allow them to respond appropriately to any situation they may encounter. These orders are also important for accountability, as they set out exactly what is expected of a security guard.
