security officers
Hired protective staff
Security officers are personnel responsible for protecting people, property, or premises.
The term covers both private security guards—who monitor buildings, check credentials, and patrol grounds—and law enforcement officials with broader authority.
Security officers escorted him from the building.
The phrase often appears in corporate and institutional contexts where "guard" sounds too informal.
