COURSES OFFERED TO SECURITY OFFICERS:

Security Officer Courses
Private policing is becoming more prevalent in the business sector. With the police services being overwhelmed with calls for service, businesses and corporations are turning to security personnel to assist in the preservation of their properties and protection of their employees.

If officers are given such responsibilities, they must be properly educated and trained to deal with the various situations they may encounter. Does the officer know what his duties are upon an arrest? As detailed in Section 494(3) of the Criminal Code, a person arrested by a citizen must be forthwith turned over to a police officer to be processed in due course. Security personnel now are the witnesses (the eyes for prosecution) to these allegations and must be prepared to act as a ‘Professional Witness’. There are Charter of Rights issues that must be adhered to and the list goes on. This all could be very confusing.

Security officers are people who have been given the authority under law to act on behalf of the lawful owner of the property. They also ensure the safety of all employees within the premise they are working. It is imperative that these officers be properly educated and trained for their respective jobs. There are civil and/or legal consequences if their duties are not carried out in a professional and legal manner.
