I've been working security for about 1 month now and prefer bike patrol over "standing guard" but don't like the bikes. They're heavy, clumsy at slow speeds and don't need front suspension. I realize a gravel bike with brifters may be a bit much for most guards because they're not cyclists and only ride at work. More nimble hybrids with 700x35 would suffice, in my opinion.
