Security guards also don't deal with intruders. They call the police.

    Night & weekend guards (almost universally!) do not carry firearms or even non-lethal weapons. Their job is exclusively "observe and report", and they are not permitted to physically intervene -- as a matter of policy to limit liability.

Yep, and those are generally called not "security guards", but rather "night watchmen" or "night guards".
