What Security Guards Can and Cannot Do
Security guards protect people and property, control access and report incidents. They do not have police powers. Like any person in Canada, a guard may arrest someone found committing a criminal offence on or in relation to the property they protect, and must hand that person over to police as soon as possible. Under Ontario’s Trespass to Property Act, guards acting for the property owner can also ask trespassers to leave. Our guards are trained to observe, report and de-escalate, and to use these powers only when necessary.
