There's no reason to deploy the Guard Squads unless there's an ongoing protest or any criminal activity in an area. However, if there's some unrest in a given district, you can follow these steps:

• Open your map and go to the District Selection area.
• From here, locate the district where there is an ongoing unrest or protest.
• Here, click on the prompt for 'Protect.'
• This will deploy the available Guard Squads to the area to settle the ongoing issues and bring about peace and security.

The Guard Squads are a fantastic way to lower both Crime and Tension in your city.

How to improve Guard Squads in Frostpunk 2

You can improve the Guard Squads in Frostpunk 2 in two ways:

1. Progress through Idea Tree: Society to unlock and research Guard Immunity and others that follow it.
2. Pass laws that support Guard Squads and their control over the city.

Researching and progressing through the Idea Tree: Society is simple. You get access to a multitude of features, such as the blueprint for different forms of Watchtowers and other abilities that improve the quality of life in your city.

As for passing laws, they require a two-thirds majority. We urge you to improve your Trust in the game, and further build your relationships with different factions to expand your power and reach into the Council. This will allow you to pass laws and enactments suited to helping your Guard Squads in performing better and more efficiently.
