An example of a fixed post would be a security guard

  1. Work at the front desk

  2. Go on foot patrol

  3. Patrol the underground parking garage with mobile

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Work at the front desk

A fixed post refers to a specific spot or location where a security guard remains stationary, usually standing or seated, for the entirety of their shift or for a specified period of time. In this context, "working at the front desk" is an example of a fixed post because the security guard would be assigned to remain at that place for a set duration, usually in order to monitor who comes in or out of a building, handle enquiries, or control access. This contrasts with other types of assignments such as foot patrols or mobile patrols (like patrolling an underground parking garage) where guards are required to move around, rather than staying in one place.
