The correct answer is: It is designed to have a visual impact in order to deter crime and loss

The purpose of a security guard wearing a uniform is primarily to act as a visual deterrent to crime and loss. The professional appearance of a security guard can often discourage potential criminals, making them think twice before committing a crime or theft. The security uniform represents authority and security, lending a sense of security and safety to the environment, reminding people that there is a guard on duty to respond to any incidents. It also makes the security guard easily identifiable to the public and other staff members, increasing their efficiency when reacting to any security issues that might arise.
