security personnel
Building protection workers
Security personnel are people employed to protect property, maintain order, or ensure safety.
The term covers guards, bouncers, airport screeners, and similar roles.
It functions as a formal or institutional way of saying security guards or security staff: All security personnel must wear visible identification.
The singular is rare—individual workers are usually just called security.
