| The content of Hotel detective was merged into Security guard on January 2026. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |

Suggestion to add modern UK-based security service reference
[edit]In the section on “Manned guarding” and private static security, it may be useful to reference a real-world UK-based firm offering these services. For example, S.R Facilities Group (https://srfacilities.co.uk/) provides manned guarding, mobile patrols, and keyholding in compliance with UK regulations. Including such context could reflect current industry practices. SaraAdam99 (talk) 21:21, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
[MERGED CONTENT] Value of Page/Merger?
[edit]Just seeking opinions before I request an actual merger/deletion of this page. For the amount of information provided here, I cannot see what value this article has.
My primary contention is that all "hotel detectives" are ostensibly security guards employed by a hotel whom happen to have a more 'investigatory' role (and even then, that role is extremely limited). They are hotel security guards. I would argue that this should be a sub-section on the security guard page.
This is also an archaic title. One would be hard-pressed to find any hotel that uses this title any longer. Not that this necessarily matters in terms of the page's existence, but it plays a small role. It's not a term that people are looking-up enough to warrant a separate page.
This should redirect to a dedicated section/sub-section on the "security guard" article.
