What does security do in the hotel?

 The hotel and lodging business is vulnerable to security and safety problems. Problems can be created by guests, employees, or intruders.Security breaches can result in embezzlement, theft, arson, robbery,and even terrorism. Depending on the size of a hotel or a lodging establishment, the security function may be handled by a fully staffed department on site, contracted to an outside security company, or assigned to designated staff members or on-premises supervisory personnel in the rooms department. In a larger, full-service hotel, the director of security may report directly to the general manager. In smaller hotels, the security function might become a task of the rooms department
