If a member of the public wants to file a complaint against a security guard they have _____ days to file that complaint in writing to the Registrar

  1. 5 days

  2. 31 days

  3. 90 days

  4. 365 days

The correct answer is: 90 days

A member of the public has 90 days to file a written complaint against a security guard to the Registrar. This timeframe is established to ensure that complaints are made while the details are still fresh in the minds of those involved, which facilitates a fair investigation process. A 90-day window strikes a balance between giving individuals enough time to gather their thoughts and prepare their complaints while also ensuring that issues are addressed in a timely manner. Such regulations are crucial in maintaining professional standards in security services and allow for appropriate oversight of security personnel. The other options do not provide a sufficient timeframe for filing complaints, either being too short, which could discourage reporting or impede the gathering of necessary information, or excessively long, which might complicate investigations and the resolution of complaints.
