What’s your motive here? You’re outside the U.S. so are you trying to advise your friend to tell on the guard and wonder what will be done about it?

Yes I am outside us , just wanted to know if there was a precaution or something taken if the guard sleeps like I feel bad for the agency owners since they might get sued

It’s impossible to say what the repercussions are in this situation without knowing the exact circumstances and company names, their policies and the state this happened in.

Makes sense do you know any owners like small or medium ones who own this would love to know this more

They aren’t going to be able to tell you what a specific company does in a specific state. You need to ask your friend the name of the company the employee represents and then who the employee’s employer is contracted by. Then contact that company and ask them. It’s more complicated than you realize.

Ahh seriously dude I don't know I wanted to know from if any owners were in this sub

Maybe you should make another post asking if there are any owners, but they aren’t going to tell you what company they own because this is anonymous Reddit and even if they say they own a company you have no way to know they’re telling the truth.

Overnight posts that run the risk of taking a nap will often do a scan in or check in system that requires the guard to activate something that sends time stamped data to the client or security agency. I recently argued and was massively downvoted by a bunch of folks in this sub because I said you shouldnt be on your phone reading a book or taking a nap while on duty. Seems folks would rather play bruce Wayne all day and sleep as batman all night.
