Spanish term

agente de custodia

Spanish to English Other Energy / Power Generation
From a newspaper article on Puerto Rican legislation to restore accident leave to certain high-risk workers:

El proyecto aprobado en la Cámara y que espera por la firma de la gobernadora, Wanda
Vázquez, les devuelve a los trabajadores de alto riesgo como lo son celadores de línea,
policías, bomberos, AGENTES DE CUSTODIA, trabajadores de las centrales generatrices,
empleados de talleres, grueros entre otros, la licencia de accidentes que fue congelada con
la aprobación en el 2014 de la ley 66, Ley Especial de Sostenibilidad Fiscal y Operacional del
Gobierno.

As you can see, these "agentes de custodia" are not escrow agents. Any idea what they are?

Both are high-risk occupations, unlike that of a probation officer.

security guard/officer

I think this is what they're referring to. (syn: guardias de seguridad, agentes de seguridad, etc depending on the country). I think they're specifically referring to "transporte y custodia de valores":

neutral philgoddard : I think it's wider than this, and could mean prison officer.
