What Act regulates the security industry?

  1. Criminal Code of Canada

  2. Private investigators and Security Guards Act, 1966

  3. Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005

  4. Labours Relations Act

The correct answer is: Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005

The correct choice is the Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005. This Act specifically governs the private security industry in Canada, establishing licensing requirements, training standards, and operational guidelines for security personnel and private investigators. It aims to enhance oversight and set a professional standard within the industry, ensuring that security services are delivered safely and effectively to the public. The other options pertain to different areas of law or regulation. The Criminal Code of Canada addresses criminal offenses and legal procedures but does not specifically regulate the private security sector. The Private Investigators and Security Guards Act, 1966 is an earlier piece of legislation that has since been replaced by the 2005 Act. Similarly, the Labour Relations Act focuses on labor relations and employment issues, which are not related to the regulatory framework for the security industry.
